Influenza Resource Database (IRD)

New Features in BV-BRC February 2021

SARS-CoV-2 Response New host factor datasets! A special guest speaker will also be Check out our latest resource: the featured during each session. The SARS-CoV-2 “Genome Assembly and We have just added 16 new omics IRD and ViPR will focus on the Annotation Service”. The SARS-CoV-2 datasets, spanning 4 viral families: following viral families: genome Assembly and Annotation , Filoviridae, , (Influenza), service provides a streamlined Orthomyxoviridae. Coronaviridae (various human “meta-service” that can quickly and You can use this data to: analyze and coronavirus species), Pneumoviridae easily assemble, annotate and compare host factor biosets; identify (RSV), and Picornaviridae perform variation analysis on raw unique post-infection expression (). Our counterparts at reads from multiple NGS platforms. patterns; identify related gene the Pathosystems Resource Real-time tracking and early warning expression clusters. Datasets can be Integration Center (PATRIC) will system for Variants of Concern (VoCs) found both at IRD and ViPR. discuss bacterial respiratory coming soon! pathogens and antibacterial resistance, and showcase PATRIC’s ViPR Enterovirus Review bioinformatic tools. Finally our partners at VEuPathDB, will present A recent publication by JCVI and data on Aspergillus and Candida, ViPR members David M. Brown, Yun and introduce users to bioinformatic Zhang, and Richard H. Scheuermann resources available at FungiDB and summarizes the epidemiology and Screen capture of a ViPR Host Factor Entry HostDB. A schedule is provided evolution of circulating non-Polio below and guest speakers will be (EV). Respiratory Pathogen announced shortly. Webinar Series Upcoming Events The Bioinformatic Resource Centers (BRC) have partnered to present a 16-Feb-2021 8AM PST/4PM UTC joint webinar series on Respiratory Influenza & IRD Pathogens and the tools available for 2-Mar-2021 8AM PST/4PM UTC
