Influenza Outbreak Investigation Kit - Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics Lab - Influenza N1 Sequence

This section contains information about how to use the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) software to visualize and compare Influenza virus protein sequences.  It also contains a list of Influenza Neuraminidase 1 (N1) protein sequences for students to compare using BLAST. 

The materials include information about:

• bioinformatics
• the BLAST program
