Immediately after you put a nucleic acid sequence into HIVbase, the system translates
the code in all 6 reading frames, then scans all 6 translations for the various
proteins and domains contained within the sequences. These protein and domain regions
are saved to the datasystem and allow the user to confine sequenes searches to specific
domains. For example, if you were studying the HIV V1V2 region of the envelope you
could search and produce all of the V1V2 domains in your database. Thus, eliminating
a temendous amount of time intensive sequence manipulations.
