HIVbase Region Definitions

Periodically , Gene Johnson, Inc. will make changes to the information that is used to automatically identify regions of interest in sequences within HIVbase. This automatic identification of regions is a cornerstone of HIVbase and distinguishes it from other software products available today. Gene Johnson strives to ensure that this identification is robust, accurate and efficient. To that end, we are constantly testing, evaluating and modifying our techniques for region identification.
It's easy to update your copy of HIVbase2004 with the latest definitions. We are currently in the process of modifying our Online Definition Update mechanisms to make this process even more efficient.
