Neisseria meningitidis PorA variable regions database

Searches to be made using either nucleotide or peptide sequences.  Any length of sequence can be pasted in, including whole genes or partial reads and a BLAST search will be performed against the variable region databases.

More information about the PorA variable regions and this database can be found in Russell et al., Emerg Infect Dis 2004 10:674-8. The full text of the article can be found on the EID website.
