Virome Data Explorer: A web resource to longitudinally explore respiratory viral infections, their interactions with other pathogens and host transcriptomic changes in over 100 people

Viral respiratory infections are an important public health concern, due to their prevalence, transmissibility, and potential to cause serious disease. This study describes a rich dataset of host/pathogen data collected in New York City during 2 years of active sampling for endemic respiratory viruses, and uses it to characterize the transcriptomic effect of infections presenting with different symptomatology and etiology.
