GISAID Initiative

@samstudio8 @CovidGenomicsUK GISAID's Curation Team sends a huge “thank you" to our colleagues @CovidGenomicsUK and all Data Contributors. Their remarkable, team-spirited collaboration in maintaining high-quality data standards enables development of lifesaving countermeasures against #COVID19. @WHO @CDCgov

Checking the @CovidGenomicsUK submissions to GISAID for this week and noticed we've minted their 1 millionth accession: EPI_ISL_1000000. Congratulations to @GISAID on this milestone!

One year ago.. 01.10.2020 the 2 first #SARSCoV2 genomes available in @gisaid , today 01.10.2021 #347k submissions Thanks all for collect the samples, extract the RNA, perform the RT-PCR, amplify the genome, construct the libraries, sequencing and analyze.

Pleased to give #Tonga Health Minister Amelia Afuha’amango Tu’ipulotu & 🇹🇴 Nurse Choir the @WHO Director-General Award - they lifted our spirits & touched our hearts with today's performance at #WHA73, to mark the Year of the Nurse & the Midwife.

El #InDRE desarrolló un diagnóstico molecular del virus SARS-CoV-2 que ha permitido obtener la secuencia genómica y compartir esta información internacionalmente a través del @GISAID.

In a silver lining to this historic public health crisis, researchers from 117 nations have shared via GISAID #coronavirus genomes and associated data from 100,000 cases of #COVID-19. Effective Collaboration @WHO @DrTedros @CDCgov @CEPIvaccines @gavi @wef

Approx. 7000 SARS-CoV-2 sequences have been uploaded to @GISAID by #CDGN member laboratories! Amazing efforts by all public health laboratories who are using pathogen genomics to tackle this pandemic 👏👏 #CDGN #Australia #NewZealand #genomics

@MaurerStroh @GISAID Sebastian talks about SARS-CoV-2’s evolution: asianscientist.com/2020/08/featur… Checkout the video to make sense of mutations happening in this virus and why mutations are not necessarily a bad thing: youtu.be/1hJNjQfzV0E

Really proud of the team that developed this application! @atchen_ @aychan in the @Devermanlab with @shingheizhan and Kevin Altschuler. We also want to thank our beta testers and @GISAID and all of the laboratories who are submitting SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences.

67 coronavirus genomes now available @GISAID from Moldova, Montenegro & Suriname as with so much covid-19 work a result of truly global collaboration (institutions in Germany/Italy/UK/Netherlands) will allow insights into arrival, spread & monitoring of effectiveness of NPIs

With ~1M covid-19 cases now confirmed on the continent, @pasteurMG in Madagascar joins growing list of African countries sequencing and releasing #SARSCoV2 WGS Sequences available @GISAID typed with PANGOLIN @AAS_AESA @Afroscientist @AfricanScI @AASciences

Super-useful filters now available on @GISAID 👏🏻 permit the selection of #SARSCOV2 genomes by clade and lineage using PANGOLIN. Additionally, filter for specific mutation using #CoVsurver 👏🏻👏🏻 Brilliant job #gisaidteam! @AineToole @arambaut @astar_research @MaurerStroh

@art_poon @GISAID @DrEmilyScher Great! 🎉 It's worth mentioning that GISAID also run pangolin so when you download from GISAID you can also download pre-run pangolin assignments!

Genome sequences of first #COVID19 cases from Beijing's Xinfadi Wholesale Market released by China CDC via GISAID. Similar to viruses from Clade GR

nextstrain.org/ncov now updated with the first sequence from New Zealand 🇳🇿. The NZ seq groups with other sequences with travel history to Iran (circled), as expected. Sequenced by @ESRNewZealand @MathStorey @Joepdl @sciolato using @NetworkArtic & #RAMPART. Data via @GISAID

#COVIDー19 continues to spread rapidly, but hard-working laboratories around the world are keeping up with #SARSCoV2 sequences from 🇯🇵 Japan 🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇳 China 🇩🇪 Germany 🇮🇹 Italy and right now NZ 🇳🇿uploaded @GISAID just in last 24 hours!! #img-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/world/2020/mar… @jacindaardern
