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.
Requesting use/citation:
Only registered members may submit data, access the database or retrieve sequences. To cite the HepSEQ database
in publications, please email the curators.
