Bioinformatics resources for SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2

 

This page contains links to bioinformatics resources useful to track the evolution and progression of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as to manage genomics data of the virus.

 

Portals with COVID-19 genomics and epidemiologics information

NEXTSTRAIN

Nextstrain is an open-source project to harness the scientific and public health potential of pathogen genome data. They provide a continually-updated view of publicly available data with powerful analytics and visualizations showing pathogen evolution and epidemic spread.

GISAID

The GISAID Initiative promotes the international sharing of all influenza virus sequences, related clinical and epidemiological data associated with human viruses, and geographical as well as species-specific data associated with avian and other animal viruses, to help researchers understand how the viruses evolve, spread and potentially become pandemics.

COVID-19 Disease Map

They share resources and best practices to develop a COVID-19 disease map. Aiming to set up a map of mechanisms focused on host-pathogen interactions, specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

EBI - COVID-19 Portal

The COVID-19 Portal will enable researchers to upload, access and analyse COVID-19 related reference data and specialist datasets.

In the first instance, as the COVID-19 Portal is being built, all COVID-19 data stored at EMBL-EBI is being aggregated into a dedicated page on the Pathogen Portal. EMBL-EBI expects that during April, a first version of the COVID-19 Portal will be live. Watch this page for updates.

CoV2ID: Detection and Therapeutics Oligo Database for SARS-CoV-2

The CoV2ID evaluates molecular methods for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and treatment of COVID-19. The database evaluates the available oligonucleotide sequences (PCR primers, RT-qPCR probes, etc.) considering the genetic diversity of the virus. Updated sequences alignments are used to constantly verify the theoretical efficiency of available testing methods. Detailed information on available detection protocols are also available to help laboratories implementing SARS-CoV-2 testing.

SARS-CoV-2 Initial analysis of COVID-19 data using Galaxy, BioConda and public research infrastructures
 
 
This repo serves as a companion to our study describing the analysis of early COVID-19 data. We currently feature two different projects: one analyzing the COVID-19 Genome and the other performing virtual screening on the SARS-CoV-2 main protease.
 

It contains descriptions of workflows and exact versions of all software used. The goals of this study were to:

  1. Underscore the importance of access to raw data
  2. Demonstrate that existing community efforts in curation and deployment of biomedical software can reliably support rapid reproducible research during global crises

BU-ISCIII / SARS-Cov2_analysis

Information collected by the Bioinformatics Unit of the ISCIII
 

This repo will contain all the information we can collect about the bioinformatics analysis of SARS-Cov2. We will try to include:

  1. General information about the virus: genomics, epidemiology, molecular mechanisms,etc
  2. Wetlab protocols: we are no wetlab experts, here we collect another groups/bibliography approximations that are currently being used. Knowing the protocols is imperative for develop comprenhensive pipelines addecuated to the data.
  3. Data resources: summary of resources for covid19 (raw data, genomes, etc) and sofware/pipelines/initiatives already going on so we can all share our knowledge.
  4. Analysis pipelines: different analysis aproximations depending on the data: experiment (metagenomics, sispa, amplicons) and sequencing platform (Illumina, pacbio, nanopore).
