Background
Flu-GLUE is a powerful, flexible, and open resource designed for the comparative genomic analysis of influenza virus genomes. The project is built using the GLUE software framework and aims to address key challenges in the use and interpretation of influenza genome data, which is critical for pandemic prevention and influenza research.
Flu-GLUE encompasses all four recognized influenza virus species: influenza A virus (IAV), influenza B virus (IBV), influenza C virus (ICV), and influenza D virus (IDV).
Flu-GLUE promotes a decentralized model of data sharing, enabling researchers to directly share data, tools, and insights with each other. Flu-GLUE's decentralized approach fosters enhanced interaction, shared tool development, and distributed governance, accelerating discoveries and improving responses to influenza outbreaks.
Flu-GLUE is designed to be deployed in a variety of computational environments. It can be used as part of a local analysis pipeline or integrated into a microservices architecture, making it suitable for both epidemiological research and basic research settings. Its modular structure enables users to customize and extend the platform to meet specific project needs, whether by adding layers for specialized data or configuring the system to handle large-scale analyses.
