Teams in the Democratic Republic of the Congo & Uganda have now shared the first sequences from the current Ebola (Bundibugyo virus) outbreak using Pathoplexus, just days after cases were confirmed.

1/ 🚀 Pathoplexus now supports Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), a species of Ebolavirus.

BDBV has been associated with past outbreaks of Ebola in the DR Congo and Uganda, & a case was reported today during response to the current Ebola outbreak.

5/ The process of adding BDBV to Pathoplexus, from beginning technical work, to EB vote, to launch, took about 7 hours. We’re proud of our ability to be able to enable data sharing for new outbreaks in such a short time, and hope it enables rapid public health response.

Since launching support for the Andes virus species of hantavirus two days ago, we've received submissions from four countries' sequencing teams. This is a testament to the rapid response of researchers, sharing real-time data. Read more in our news post: https://t.co/Alx4xhQRNj

6/ 🙏 Huge thanks to everyone involved in caring for patients, testing samples, coordinating response, and sharing data; as well as to the Pathoplexus team and Exec Board for working at speed for this launch.

1/ 🚀 Pathoplexus now supports the Andes variant of Hantavirus (ANDV).

ANDV is the variant identified in the recent MV Hondius cases, & the Hantavirus variant previously identified as having occasional human-to-human transmission.

5/ Uploading to Pathoplexus is as easy as dragging-and-dropping files into the web browser - or use the API to upload as part of a workflow.

We will be continuing to improve ANDV on Pathoplexus in the coming days and weeks.

11/ 🤲🏻 As always, thank you to our submitters, curators, partners, and community 🙏
Upload your sequences, cite your SeqSets (DOIs matter!), and tell us what you'd like to see next!
