 HCV-GLUE is a sequence-oriented resource for comparative genomic analysis of hepatitis C virus (HCV), developed using the [GLUE](https://github.com/giffordlabcvr/gluetools) software framework. It includes a web interface that can be used to create an HCV-GLUE web-server.
 
-Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a bloodborne RNA virus that primarily targets the liver, causing both acute and chronic hepatitis. Classified under the Hepacivirus genus within the Flaviviridae family, HCV is mainly transmitted through contact with infected blood. If left untreated, infection can lead to serious liver complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Direct-acting antiviral medications have dramatically improved cure rates and hold the potential to eliminate the virus. However, achieving global elimination faces significant challenges.

 GLUE is an open, integrated software toolkit designed for storing and interpreting sequence data. It supports the creation of bespoke projects, incorporating essential data items for comparative genomic analysis, such as sequences, multiple sequence alignments, genome feature annotations, and other associated data.
