Open resources for lentivirus genomics
This is Lentivirus-GLUE, a GLUE project developed to support comparative genomic and evolutionary analysis of lentiviruses
Lentiviruses (genus Lentivirus) are complex retroviruses (family Retroviridae) that cause chronic, persistent infections in mammals, including humans. They are best known as the genus of retroviruses that includes human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).
GLUE is an open, integrated software toolkit that provides functionality for storage and interpretation of sequence data. It provides an extensible platform for implementing 'sequence-based resources' that represent the semantic links between sequences and other data items via a relational database. This minimises the requirement for labour-intensive pre-processing of data, and allows sequence-based analyses to be implemented in an efficient, standardised and reproducible way.
