Geno2pheno [coreceptor]

New September 19th, 2008: Minor update, for more information see Changes

On submitting below a sequence containing the V3 region of the HIV-1 envelope protein gp120, you will obtain a sequence alignment to the reference strain HXB2 and a prediction whether the corresponding virus is capable of using CXCR4 as a coreceptor (R5/X4 or X4 variants) or not (R5 variants).

1. Identifier (optional)
Do not use patient names!
2. Significance Levels: Please select how conservative the detection of CXCR4 usage should be.

False positive rate is the probability of classifying an R5-virus falsely as X4.   [Help]
3. Sequence containing the V3 region of gp120: upload from file (plain sequence or FASTA format):


4. Additional parameters
Viral load: Additional markers can help improving the predictions. Please use the nadir (ever lowest level) of
CD4-/CD8-cell counts and CD4 percentages.  [Help]
CCR5-genotype:
CD4 percentages:
CD4-cell counts:
CD8-cell counts:
5. Action:

You will make prediction № 78564. Service started June 1, 2004.
