APV9WR: An Integrated Web Resource of Alpha papillomavirus 9 for Genomics, Proteomics, Phylogenetic and Therapeutic Analysis
PurposeAlphapapillomavirus 9 is a virus belonging to the Papillomaviridae family. It has a close genetic relationship with high-risk HPV-16 and other HPV strains such as HPV-31, HPV-52, HPV-35, HPV-58, HPV-67, and HPV-35. This virus is responsible for causing warts and malignant tumors and is responsible for about 75% of cervical malignancies and pre-cancerous lesions worldwide. As a result, it requires specialized research and attention. Our goal is to create a comprehensive resource that can assist researchers and scientific groups in their work. Material and MethodologyA total of 1230 full genome sequences and 9140 protein sequences were obtained from GenBank and NCBI Virus, respectively. Further Phylogenetic Analysis, Codon usage and context analysis, CpG islands analysis, Glycosylation sites, Diagnostic Primers, B cell Epitopes and MHC I and MHC II binders were identified and analyzed using relevant Bioinformatics tools and Python program ResultsAPV9WR is a web resource that was developed after analysis. Our data indicate that HPV 35 and HPV 38 have the most genomic diversity. From codon usage analysis, it was observed that AAA, AUU, UAU, UGU, and UUU are the most used codons, while ACG, CCG, CGA, CGG, CGU, GCG, and UCG are some of the unusual codons in APV9 nucleotide sequence with accession id - LC626346.1. We found 4714 CpG island locations in 1230 complete nucleotide sequences of APV9, and only 663 CpG island locations were unique. Further N-linked glycosylation, O-linked glycosylation, diagnostic primers, Potential B-cell epitopes and MHC I and MHC II binders were also analyzed and tabulated. ConclusionWe have consolidated basic information about the virus, such as entire genomic sequences and proteins. It primarily comprises a wide range of studies and outcomes, including genome alignment, phylogenetic inferences, codon context and usage bias, and important CpG island statistics. Furthermore, primers for molecular diagnostics were identified, and glycosylation sites were located and investigated. Most significantly, potential therapeutic elements such as vaccine epitopes and obtaining potential information about them were investigated. Our collective effort on this tool is meant to serve the greater good of the research community for therapeutic intervention for Alphapapillomavirus 9.
