On Sunday, April 21st, 2024, “in the interest of public transparency and ensuring the scientific community has access to this information as quickly as possible to encourage disease research and development to benefit the U.S. dairy industry”, the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shared H5N1 sequence reads from 239 Biosamples related to the ongoing H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b influenza A virus outbreak in U.S. cattle and other species [1]. As they noted, “the sequences were made available with appreciation to the state animal health authorities and National Animal Health Laboratories conducting testing”.
These data were shared as BioProject PRJNA1102327 24 on the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) of the National Institute of Health’s National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Sequences posted were from cattle (n=202), cats (9), chickens (18), skunk (1), raccoon (1), grackle (3), blackbird (2), canada goose (1), peregrine falcon (1), and goose (1). APHIS announced that they would continue making additional raw genetic sequences available on a rolling basis at Home - SRA - NCBI (nih.gov ) 11 by searching for “WGS of H5N1” [2]. ...
