Amplicon sequencing of Papillomavirus L1 gene region from human samples

The goal is to characterize sequences of novel papillomaviruses infecting humans. A new method combining the amplification of a L1 gene region of papillomaviruses using partially degenerated primers combined with the use of NGS has been tested. A bioinformatics software specifically designed to analyze this data has been developed: PVAmpliconFinder
