Now Available: Assembled Genomes for Influenza Viruses and Improved Functionality of NCBI Virus

NCBI Virus now offers genomes for viruses such as Influenza A by using an automated process to group segments from the same samples. We group these segments into genomes based on metadata for the sample including species, isolate name, host organism, collection date, and location. Newly released GenBank records are added daily.  Access these genome … Continue reading Now Available: Assembled Genomes for Influenza Viruses and Improved Functionality of NCBI Virus
