influenza-sequence databases ?

suggest collaboration
Perhaps this sequence collection may be interesting and useful joined in collaborative effort such as the Pandemic Influenza Digital Archive as described here.

I had had no idea that such a thing existed.
Why was it kept secret ?
Aren't scientists being appropriately "rewarded" for publishing
their stuff ?
Alas, for this pandemic it comes too late.
Good however that it turned out to be "mild".
Maybe Moren's decision to publish was made at a time
when it looked worse...Comment

High Throughput Full Genome Sequencing of 2009 Swine H1N1 Isolates From World Wide Origins
Huo-Shu Houng, Ph.D., Viral Disease, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
Novel 2009 inluenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in Mexico and the United States in March/April 2009. We systematically investigate the potential of ultra-deep pyrosequencing to determine and assemble full genome sequences of H1N1 viruses from world-wide geographic origins. A robust RT-PCR protocol was established to efficiently amplify across the boards of all 8 2009 novel H1N1 RNAs into sufficient cDNA quantities using the Roche 454 FLX system.

are the sequences available ?
I have what is at genbank, but it's tedious to format,align,correct,sort etc.
it would be useful to share such improved databases
and provide upatesComment

as it happens the Walter Reed people had to resequence all their
influenza sequences. Apparently it's not so easy with high-throughput,
to assign the fragments to the correct virusesComment

Thank you for the update. Do you have any online references to updated material? Can you provide us with any further description on the progress of database curation on this topic and how such databases might be accessed?Comment
-
I assume they will submit updated sequences
but it can take a while
watch here for daily flu-updates:

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
