Taxonium is a web application for exploring phylogenetic trees. Find out more at the Github repository (https://github.com/theosanderson/taxonium) or read the documentation (https://docs.taxonium.org).
This tree was constructed by the Pathogen Genomics Group at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genomics Institute. Our automated pipeline downloads Influenza A sequences from GenBank (i.e. the INSDC databases) and SRA assemblies from https://github.com/andersen-lab/avian-influenza/, aligns them to the RefSeq reference sequence for __STRAIN__ segment __SEGNUM__ (__SEGNAME__), __SEGREF__(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/__SEGREF__), using nextclade, and runs UShER to infer the tree structure and matOptimize to improve it under maximum parsimony.
The tree and metadata files can be downloaded from https://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/hubs/__ASMDIR__/UShER___SEGREF__ .
