HIVBrainSeqDB
The HIVBrainSeqDB is a public database of HIV envelope sequences, directly sequenced from brain and other tissues from the same patients.
For inclusion in the database, sequences must: (i) be deposited in Genbank; (ii) include some portion of the HIV env region; (iii) be clonal, amplified directly from tissue; and (iv) be sampled from the brain, or sampled from a patient for which the database already contains brain sequence.

Sequences from Brown et al, 2011 added
35 sequences from the brain and lymph node of 1 new patient have been incorporated into the database. Additional information on their cloning and sequencing is described in the recent publication by Brown et al:
