FLAN -- FLu ANnotation from NCBI
What you can do:
A web server for influenza virus genome annotation.
Highlights:
- A tool for user-provided influenza A virus or influenza B virus sequences that can validate and predict protein sequences encoded by an input flu sequence.
- The input sequence is BLASTed against a database containing influenza sequences to determine the virus type (A or B), segment (1 through 8) and subtype for the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase segments of influenza A virus.
- For each segment/subtype of the viruses, a set of sample protein sequences is maintained.
- The input sequence is then aligned against the corresponding protein set with a 'Protein to nucleotide alignment tool' (ProSplign).
- The translated product from the best alignment to the sample protein sequence is used as the predicted protein encoded by the input sequence.
- The output can be a feature table that can be used for sequence submission to GenBank (by Sequin or tbl2asn), a GenBank flat file, or the predicted protein sequences in FASTA format.
- A message showing the length of the input sequence, the predicted virus type, segment and subtype for the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase segments of Influenza A virus will also be displayed.
