Human papillomavirus type 13: Genome amplification and characterization data

As for 2020 only two complete genomes of Human papillomavirus type 13 (HPV13) are publicly available in GenBank database. In addition, reports of partial sequences of genetic regions are very limited. Therefore, genomic research that contributes to knowledge of viral components involved in HPV13 pathogenesis, and molecular mechanisms associated to multifocal epithelial hyperplasia (MEH) disease are urged. In the accompanying paper [1], we aimed to obtain the complete genome sequence of HPV13 associated to MEH disease, obtained from a Mayan boy living in Yucatan, Mexico. Coding sequences were annotated, and viral proteins traduced and deposited in GenBank with accession number MT068446. In this data report, we present the oligonucleotide list used to amplify the complete genome, a graphical abstract of process employed for the amplification of circular HPV13 genome, a representative figure of PCR products obtained for sequencing and multiple sequence alignments with the translated coding sequences of the existing genomes: X62843 is the first HPV13 genome reported [2]; it was generated from a clone obtained from a Turkish patient; DQ344807 was originally obtained from a patient in the Amazonian region [3]. The multiple sequence alignments show the main viral proteins (predicted). This provides relevant information for future molecular analysis and epidemiological studies because HPV13 is an understudied genotype associated to a neglected disease that appears more commonly in children. Additionally, the description of the methods can help in future sequencing of HPV genomes. We hope that our solutions will help researchers who do not have next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. A more comprehensive analysis of this data may be obtained from “Genomic characterization of Human papillomavirus type 13, associated to Multifocal Epithelial Hyperplasia, in a Mayan community” [1].
