I've been comparing annual publication trends across different viruses

The vast difference in the number of publications for SARS-CoV-2 compared to other viruses like Ebola, Dengue, and Influenza A is striking.

I get the negative reactions—I was initially repelled by names like Lentivirus humimdef1. But to my surprise, I came around quite quickly putting it into practice.

HMPV-GLUE catalogs amino acid substitutions across all HMPV subtypes.

High-quality alignments representing all HMPV sequences are contained within HMPV-GLUE.

GLUE's module system allows export of alignment partitions, based on reference sequence coordinates.

For example here we export a phosphoprotein alignment for HMPV (lineage B2).

All HMPV sequences contained in GenBank are curated in HMPV-GLUE, complete with extracted metadata.

Additionally, all sequences contained in HMPV-GLUE have been typed using MLCA.

HMPV-GLUE includes a robust typing tool that classifies HMPV isolates into subtypes and lineages using maximum likelihood clade assignment (MLCA).

Introducing HMPV-GLUE: a comprehensive, open-source resource for human metapneumovirus (HMPV) research.

With the recent rise in HMPV cases in China, this tool offers timely support for the scientific community.
