 | The International Repository for
Hepatitis B Virus Strain Data | |
|
|
The aim of this initiative is to develop a
web-accessible, quality-based, molecular, clinical
and epidemiological database for hepatitis B
infection as a tool for the research community and
for those involved in hepatitis B case management.
|
|
This database was built to the specification of the
‘HepBVar’ project ( a
trans-European Network) and was designed to include
comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and
virological data.
|
|
The database now holds HBV DNA sequences from all
groups in the HEPBVAR project.
The basic format of the database is proven through
its use in the HEPBVAR project.
The HEPBVAR project has now ended but the development
of a web-accessible, quality-based, molecular,
clinical and epidemiological database for hepatitis
B infection continues.
The database will be useful as an extensive library
of HBV sequences well annotated with clinical and
epidemiological data.

Only registered members may submit data, access the
database or retrieve sequences.
