Influenza is a highly contagious disease that affects humans and multiple animal hosts. Since influenza viruses are prone to major genetic changes, continuous research is critical for global public health, enabling scientists to anticipate and mitigate the impact of this rapidly evolving pathogen.

Our webinar will show how you can analyze and interpret influenza virus sequencing data using QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench. Using the Microbial Genomics Module, we will explore influenza strain typing on targeted sequencing data, starting from raw FASTQ files or publicly available datasets.

You will learn to:

• - Use a pre-built workflow for influenza strain typing or set up your own

• - Customize influenza reference datasets to improve typing accuracy

• - Analyze and interpret strain typing results
