Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the small circular double-stranded DNA viruses.
It belongs to the papillomaviridae family, taxonomically classified into distinct genera: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Mupa and Nupa.
These are further classified into distinct subgroups: high-risk and low risk HPVs.

Scientific Reports PubmedHigh-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes cause cervical cancer. They are also responsible for other anogenital, and head and neck cancers
Cervical cancer progression highly depend on cellular and viral risk factors
HPVbase is an integrated viral resource and analysis platform for Human Papillomaviruses mediated carcinomas
It comprises different sections for viral and cellular biomarkers
Different biomarkers includes integration and breakpoint events, HPV methylation pattern, and microRNAs (miRNAs) aberrant expression
Highly interactive and user friendly interface
