🗓 Pathoplexus turns ONE! 🎂🎉 In the past year we’ve grown from 4 pathogens to a truly global, community-driven platform for transparent, equitable & impactful pathogen sequence sharing. 📰 Read the full update: https://t.co/8tyR0tORdc 1/10

Interested to learn about how to run your own Loculus (the database code behind @pathoplexus)? 🤔🖥️ Sign up for the Loculus Tutorial on Mon 8 Sept at @BC2Conference in Basel, run by @ChaoranChen_ & Anya Parker! 🧬 Register: https://t.co/LI6K36lc4J #bioinformatics #openScience

📢New job posting!📢 Are you excited by the idea of building global infrastructure to make pathogen sequencing more accessible, interpretable, and equitable? 🧑🏻‍💻🧬 My group at @SwissTPH has an opening working with ARTIC2, @pathoplexus, & Loculus - read on! 1/5

We are excited to share that our new tool VILOCA has been published in NAR G&B: https://t.co/2EfU3U0Ffn! VILOCA is a novel method for mutation calling and local haplotype reconstruction from diverse viral sequencing data, which is also adept for viral surveillance in wastewater.

GenSpectrum just added a mpox dashboard using data from @Pathoplexus – see https://t.co/YFxRxaOePa

Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of a new viral pathogen: mpox (previously known as monkeypox). Within the context of the current mpox outbreaks and ongoing health concerns, Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve both understanding and response. 1/7

It's wonderful to have initiatives like this to support, recognise, and reward #OpenData work. Congratulations to the other 3 fantastic winners, and to the whole Pathoplexus team, who couldn't all be with us last night! 2/2

We're incredibly honoured to be winners of the @academies_ch @ORData_ch National Prize for Open Research Data 2024! 🎉🎊 "Pathoplexus ensures open access and provides a cutting-edge infrastructure for interactive and programmable data exploration" https://t.co/XXn8vPHsDY 1/2

⭐️And last but not least the fourth Award of the National ORD Prize 2024 goes to ’Pathoplexus’ by Emma Hodcroft, Tanja Stadler, Chaoran Chen, Alexander Taepper, Cornelius Roemer #ordprize24

Elena Dalla Vecchia covers @Pathoplexus in @LancetMicrobe, highlighting that "Pathoplexus offers an advancement in terms of both openness and appropriate accreditation" which hopes to "become a model for similar platforms for other pathogens" https://t.co/KX5w8nZyXR

From @PeaseRoland on @bbcworldservice “Pathoplexus helps to protect the people uploading data so that they can share it for surveillance & public health, without feeling like they give up publishing." Listen from 8:26 at https://t.co/YMqxHSYZJ5 #Pathoplexus #OpenScience 1/2

A great article by @sciencecohen covering @pathoplexus & our values, with quotes from Exec Board member @andersonfbrito_ & the community, Eddie Holmes & @guspalpogeng! And a great excuse to deep-dive into some of the people behind Pathoplexus! 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 1/9

From @ScienceMagazine: “We believe that building trust through transparency is essential for encouraging broader participation in data sharing,” says Pathoplexus co-founder Anderson Fernandes de Brito @andersonfbrito_ https://t.co/q6Xtfd762t #Pathoplexus #OpenScience

It was an amazing journey for us (our research team @ETH_en with the support of contracted software developers from TNG technology) to work with colleagues across the globe from the first idea to what we now call Pathoplexus https://t.co/krMM3TN9hr! We are very proud to 1/2

📢 We're excited to introduce Pathoplexus, a specialized sequence database for human viral pathogens! 🌍 🧬 Launching with 4 viruses, https://t.co/4wGez2nTCr combines modern open-source software with transparent governance to improve global pathogen sequence sharing. 1/14

DECODING GENOMES - from sequences to phylodynamics: We are proud to present our book on how to analyse genomic sequences with an evolutionary perspective. See https://t.co/seRPOVuCyi for a free pdf, Amazon links for print orders, and further information. Great team effort 1/2

Interested in developing dashboards and tools for public health and genomic epidemiology? We are looking for a software engineer to join our GenSpectrum team at @ETH_BSSE in Basel, 🇨🇭CH! https://t.co/2uu0JTj1Fi Please reach out if you have any questions and please share! :)

I am a researcher studying viruses. I have contributed to the sequencing of more than a million genomes deposited in the GISAID database. Last week I found that my access to bulk downloads from GISAID had been cut off without cause or explanation. [1/3]

📄 📄 Our molnupiravir work is now out after peer-review! We definitively demonstrate that molnupiravir has resulted in viable SARS-CoV-2 viruses with significant numbers of mutations, in some cases with onwards transmission of mutated viruses.
