Vincent C Calhoun, Eneida L Hatcher, Linda Yankie,. Influenza sequence validation and annotation using VADR. Database, 2024
Tens of thousands of influenza sequences are deposited into the GenBank database each year. The software tool FLu ANnotation tool (FLAN) has been used by GenBank since 2007 to validate and annotate incoming influenza sequence submissions and has been publicly available as a webserver but not as a standalone tool. Viral Annotation DefineR (VADR) is a general sequence validation and annotation software package used by GenBank for norovirus, dengue virus and SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence processing that is available as a standalone tool. We have created VADR influenza models based on the FLAN reference sequences and adapted VADR to accurately annotate influenza sequences. VADR and FLAN show consistent results on the vast majority of influenza sequences, and when they disagree, VADR is usually correct. VADR can also accurately process influenza D sequences as well as influenza A H17, H18, H19, N10 and N11 subtype sequences, which FLAN cannot. VADR 1.6.3 and the associated influenza models are now freely available for users to download and use.
