Influenza Virus Genome Project

Influenza primer sets are available for download here.

Goals

This project aims to dramatically improve the availability of influenza genomic sequence in the public domain. We will sequence the complete genomes of a large collection of human influenza isolates, as well as a select number of avian and other non-human influenza strains. The strains will be chosen to represent a wide geographical and chronological survey of the influenza virus. All data will be released immediately to the public domain.

For information about getting your collection sequenced, please visit NIAID's Reagent Request Process page.
