Bioinformatics: Swine Flu Genome:

The swine flu A (H1N1) virus is an RNA virus that codes 8 genes, its Genome is composed of avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu, this combination is supposed to be rare and have only a chance of less than 0.1 to be a natural event.

The two anti-viral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza are availible on the market and can lessen the symptoms of swine flu.

But the Swine Flu virus has made some sort of resistance to Tamiflu and the % of resistance is growing now.

Now all submitted influenza sequences are availible at GenBank and are availible for Blast searching at NCBI here , with a set of tools that you can use to analyse the sequences.

So we hope that the cure will be found before the next mutation of the virus.
