The nextstrain project is an attempt to make flexible informatic pipelines and visualization tools to track ongoing pathogen evolution as sequence data emerges. The nextstrain project derives from nextflu, which was specific to influenza evolution.
nextstrain is comprised of three components:
- fauna: database and IO scripts for sequence and serological data
- augur: informatic pipelines to conduct inferences from raw data
- auspice: web app to visualize resulting inferences
The current auspice repo is still very much a work-in-progress. We recommend that you use nextflu instead for current applications. At some point, this repo will takeover from the nextflu repo.
Definition: Observation by an augur, ie a prophetic sign.
Auspice is the web app that gives an interactive display of inferences produced by augur pipeline.
