AI Article Synopsis
- The global response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic underscored the importance of sharing genomic data with standardized information for tracking new variants.
- The text advocates for the importance of sharing genomic data specifically for Typhi (the bacteria that causes typhoid fever) and highlights available platforms that aid in this effort.
- Key initiatives mentioned include the Africa CDC's Pathogen Genomics Initiative, SEQAFRICA, Typhi Pathogenwatch, TyphiNET, and the Global Typhoid Genomics Consortium, which support the analysis and visualization of Typhi genomic data in Africa and beyond.
Article Abstract
The global response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic demonstrated the value of timely and open sharing of genomic data with standardized metadata to facilitate monitoring of the emergence and spread of new variants. Here, we make the case for the value of Typhi (. Typhi) genomic data and demonstrate the utility of freely available platforms and services that support the generation, analysis, and visualization of Typhi genomic data on the African continent and more broadly by introducing the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention's Pathogen Genomics Initiative, SEQAFRICA, Typhi Pathogenwatch, TyphiNET, and the Global Typhoid Genomics Consortium.
