pathoplexus.orgPathoplexus | Mpox Virus - BrowsePathoplexus is a new, open-source database dedicated to the efficient sharing of human viral pathogen genomic data, fostering global collaboration and public health response.

We had the 1st Restricted-Use sequences submitted 4 Feb, with 703 mpox genomes uploaded by DRC thx to @labgenpath.bsky.social: pathoplexus.org/mpox/search?... And on 7 Feb, we had an mpox sequence from INSA in Portugal uploaded the same day it was sequenced! pathoplexus.org/seq/PP_0013N... 3/9

And on 21 Feb, we had 41 mpox sequences submitted from the Central African Republic, with thanks to the Institut Pasteur de Bangui, @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social , and Ministère de la Santé et de la Population, Bengui: pathoplexus.org/mpox/search?... 4/9

In updates to Pathoplexus, you can now upload metadata as Excel files - making data sharing easier than ever (we have templates too!) In the same vein, we now let you specify what columns in metadata files should be mapped to - no more worries if your column names differ! 5/9
