About Us

An interactive platform to help scientists and public health professionals query and analyze pathogen sequences. The core team is at the cEvo group at ETH Zurich but we are grateful for our many contributors from around the globe: you can find our team here. We are funded by ETH Zurich and the US CDC's Office of Advanced Molecular Detection (OAMD).

Open Source Tooling

Code is available on GitHub, with customizable components to build your own dashboards. We use data from the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) and Pathoplexus, read more about our data processing here.
