We provide here the accession numbers used by EMBL and Genbank databases for all the sequences of viruses, satellites and viroids infecting plants, fungi and protozoa. These have been checked to ensure that, as far as possible, they are allocated here to their correct name and the list is updated regularly. This version was correct to 6 June 2011. The names follow the latest decisions of the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) as far as possible.
Using files developed for the DPV CD-ROM, all those sequences encoding one or more gene, or which are complete in the case of non-coding satellites and viroids, have been incorporated into a sequence feature database (DPVWeb) together with verified annotations for the open reading frames and other major features. To assist comparisons with related viruses, there are also representative sequences for every completely sequenced animal virus with an RNA or ssDNA genome. Sequence features (genes etc.) can be selected and downloaded in FASTA format. This can be done either by following the links to Featured Sequences from the Notes pages or by using software that we have written to select and analyse sequences from this database is described on the Analysis page.
Following several requests, we are now providing the facility to download the complete set of plant virus sequences as held in the EMBL and Genbank databases. The files have been zipped to decrease their size. Right-click on the links to select the option to download and save the files:
