Submission of new PorA variants

This is a curated database and in order to be confident in the assignment of new variants we require sequence trace files (electropherograms) if you have sequenced using dideoxy terminator (Sanger) sequencing. Please send new variable region nucleotide sequences to the curator as E-mail attachments. If you have performed whole genome sequencing, please either send a FASTA file containing the variable region plus sufficient flanking sequence necessary to identify the conserved region outside of the variable region (50 - 100 bp either end) by E-mail, or preferably, make a genome submission using the automated submission system and request PorA variable region assignment.
