-  This is the COVID-19 Public Sequence Resource (COVID-19 PubSeq) for
-  SARS-CoV-2 virus sequences. COVID-19 PubSeq is a repository for
-  sequences with a low barrier to entry for uploading sequence data
-  using best practices, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_data">FAIR data</a>. Data are published with
-  metadata using state-of-the art standards
-  and, perhaps most importantly, providing standardised workflows that
-  get triggered on upload, so that results are immediately available
-  in standardised data formats.

+  COVID-19 PubSeq is a free and open online bioinformatics public
+  sequence resource with on-the-fly analysis of sequenced SARS-CoV-2
+  samples that allows for a quick turnaround in identification of new
+  virus strains. PubSeq allows anyone to upload sequence material in
+  the form of FASTA or FASTQ files with accompanying metadata through
+  a web interface or REST API.

+  Our goal is to help map the viral variants in this pandemic. Early
+  identification of variants helps with testing and treatments!
+  COVID-19 PubSeq accepts sequence material from all sources (notably
+  in FASTA format). In addition, PubSeq provides specific workflows
+  for Oxford Nanopore analysis in FAST5 and FASTQ format. If you have
+  an Oxford Nanopore and need (free) help analysing SARS-CoV-2 FAST5
+  or FASTQ data, feel free to <a href="/contact">contact us</a>! Also
+  for commercial support you can reach out.

   Your uploaded sequence will automatically be processed and
   incorporated into the public pangenome with metadata using worklows
