1/ 🛠️ Our July update is here - and it's a technical one! New features for citations, search, submission, and more. Here's what's new in #Pathoplexus 👇 🔗 Full post: pathoplexus.org/news/2026-07...

2/ 📄 SeqSets/DOIs now show citations! We've integrated with @crossref.bsky.social so you can see which scientific publications have used a SeqSet - on the SeqSet page *and* on individual sequence pages. Using seqs in a paper? Don't forget to cite the DOI! 👉 pathoplexus.org/about/citation

3/ 🔍 New: hierarchical taxonomy search for host species. Search "mosquitos" and get all sequences from Aedes, Culex, and every other mosquito genus - automatically. Try it for dengue 👉 pathoplexus.org/dengue/searc...

4/ 🔄 Compare sequence versions side-by-side! Click 'Version' on any multi-version sequence page to see exactly what changed between versions - and share the view via URL. Example 👉 pathoplexus.org/seq/PP_006W6...

5/ Submission improvements: - 📄Download a rich XLSX template with field definitions & accepted values - 📥 Batch-download original data for multiple sequences to simplify bulk revisions - ⏪Revocations now process immediately on confirmation - no extra release step needed

6/ More submission updates: - 🗓️ You can now submit date ranges (ISO or Lucene format) when exact dates aren't known. - 🪰 Host species are now validated against NCBI taxonomy, powering consistent metadata & the new taxonomy search.

8/ 🧬 For #EbolaVirus Bundibugyo: amino acid substitutions relative to the outbreak clade founder are now visualized at a glance. Plus: new LinkOut to view alignments in Sealion - or place sequences on phylogenetic trees via viral UShER + Taxonium.

9/ 🏛️ Governance update: Pathoplexus held its General Assembly on 10 June, approving the annual report and planning the year ahead. Minutes & report here 👉 pathoplexus.org/about/govern... We're also delighted to welcome Prof. Placide Mbala to our Scientific Advisory Board! 🎉
