Abstract

A central database to aggregate sequence information from a range of epidemiological aspects including HTLV-1 pathogenesis, origin, and evolutionary dynamic would be useful to scientists and physicians worldwide. This Chapter describes two online tools for studies related to HTLV-1, the HTLV-1 Molecular Epidemiology Database and the HTLV-1 Subtyping Tool. The HTLV-1 Molecular Epidemiology Database is a tool for sequence management and data mining which allows researchers to download sequences with clinical and demographic information. The HTLV-1 Subtyping Tool is an online software used for HTLV-1 genotyping, the algorithm consists in the alignment of a query sequence with a carefully selected set of predefined reference strains, followed by phylogenetic analysis.
