Rhinovirus genotyping
"rhinotypeR" is designed to automate the comparison of sequence data against prototype strains, streamlining the genotype assignment process. By implementing predefined pairwise distance thresholds, this package makes genotype assignment accessible to researchers and public health professionals. This tool enhances our epidemiological toolkit by enabling more efficient surveillance and analysis of rhinoviruses (RVs) and other viral pathogens with complex genomic landscapes. Additionally, "rhinotypeR" supports comprehensive visualization and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and amino acid substitutions, facilitating in-depth genetic and evolutionary studies.
