INSaFLU: An automated open web-based bioinformatics suite “from-reads” for influenza whole-genome-sequencing-based surveillance

A new era of flu surveillance has already started based on the genetic characterization and exploration of influenza virus evolution at whole-genome scale. Although this has been prioritized by national and international health authorities, the demanded technological transition to whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based flu surveillance has been particularly delayed by the lack of bioinformatics infrastructures.
