1 What is the 'public sequence resource' about?

-
-

-The public sequence resource aims to provide a generic and useful -resource for COVID-19 research. The focus is on providing the best -possible sequence data with associated metadata that can be used for -sequence comparison and protein prediction. -

-
-
- -
-

2 Who created the public sequence resource?

-
-

-The public sequence resource is an initiative by bioinformatics and -ontology experts who want to create something agile and useful for the -wider research community. The initiative started at the COVID-19 -biohackathon in April 2020 and is ongoing. The main project drivers -are Pjotr Prins (UTHSC), Peter Amstutz (Curii), Andrea Guarracino -(University of Rome Tor Vergata), Michael Crusoe (Common Workflow -Language), Thomas Liener (consultant, formerly EBI), Erik Garrison -(UCSC) and Jerven Bolleman (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). -

- -

-Notably, as this is a free software initiative, the project represents -major work by hundreds of software developers and ontology and data -wrangling experts. Thank you everyone! -

-
-
- -
-

3 How does the public sequence resource compare to other data resources?

-
-

-The short version is that we use state-of-the-art practices in -bioinformatics using agile methods. Unlike the resources from large -institutes we can improve things on a dime and anyone can contribute -to building out this resource! Sequences from GenBank, EBI/ENA and -others are regularly added to PubSeq. We encourage people to everyone -to submit on PubSeq because of its superior live tooling and metadata -support (see the next question). -

- -

-Importantly: all data is published under either the Creative Commons -4.0 attribution license or the CC0 “No Rights Reserved” license which -means it data can be published and workflows can run in public -environments allowing for improved access for research and -reproducible results. This contrasts with some other public resources, -such as GISAID. -

-
-
- -
-

4 Why should I upload my data here?

-
-
    -
  1. We champion truly shareable data without licensing restrictions - with proper -attribution
  2. -
  3. We provide full metadata support using state-of-the-art ontology's
  4. -
  5. We provide a web-based sequence uploader and a command-line version -for bulk uploads
  6. -
  7. We provide a live SPARQL end-point for all metadata
  8. -
  9. We provide free data analysis and sequence comparison triggered on data upload
  10. -
  11. We do real work for you, with this link you can see the last -run took 5.5 hours!
  12. -
  13. We provide free downloads of all computed output
  14. -
  15. There is no need to set up pipelines and/or compute clusters
  16. -
  17. All workflows get triggered on uploading a new sequence
  18. -
  19. When someone (you?) improves the software/workflows and everyone benefits
  20. -
  21. Your data gets automatically integrated with the Swiss Institure of -Bioinformatics COVID-19 knowledge base -https://covid-19-sparql.expasy.org/ (Elixir Switzerland)
  22. -
  23. Your data will be used to develop drug targets
  24. -
- -

-Finally, if you upload your data here we have workflows that output -formatted data suitable for uploading to EBI resources (and soon -others). Uploading your data here get your data ready for upload to -multiple resources. -

-
-
- -
-

5 Why should I not upload by data here?

-
-

-Funny question. There are only good reasons to upload your data here -and make it available to the widest audience possible. -

- -

-In fact, you can upload your data here as well as to other -resources. It is your data after all. No one can prevent you from -uploading your data to multiple resources. -

- -

-We recommend uploading to EBI and NCBI resources using our data -conversion tools. It means you only enter data once and make the -process smooth. You can also use our command line data uploader -for bulk uploads! -

-
-
- -
-

6 How does the public sequence resource work?

-
-

-On uploading a sequence with metadata it will automatically be -processed and incorporated into the public pangenome with metadata -using workflows from the High Performance Open Biology Lab defined -here. -

-
-
- -
-

7 Who uses the public sequence resource?

-
-

-The Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics has included this data in -https://covid-19-sparql.expasy.org/ and made it part of Uniprot. -

- -

-The Pantograph viewer uses PubSeq data for their visualisations. -

- -

-UTHSC (USA), ESR (New Zealand) and ORNL (USA) use COVID-19 PubSeq data -for monitoring, protein prediction and drug development. -

-
-
- -
-

8 How can I contribute?

-
-

-You can contribute by submitting sequences, updating metadata, submit -issues on our issue tracker, and more importantly add functionality. -See 'How do I change the source code' below. Read through our online -documentation at http://covid19.genenetwork.org/blog as a starting -point. -

-
-
- -
-

9 Is this about open data?

-
-

-All data is published under a Creative Commons 4.0 attribution license -(CC-BY-4.0). You can download the raw and published (GFA/RDF/FASTA) -data and store it for further processing. -

-
-
- -
-

10 Is this about free software?

-
-

-Absolutely. Free software allows for fully reproducible pipelines. You -can take our workflows and data and run it elsewhere! -

-
-
- -
-

11 How do I upload raw data?

-
-

-We are preparing raw sequence data pipelines (fastq and BAM). The -reason is that we want the best data possible for downstream analysis -(including protein prediction and test development). The current -approach where people publish final sequences of SARS-CoV-2 is lacking -because it hides how this sequence was created. For reasons of -reproducible and improved results we want/need to work with the raw -sequence reads (both short reads and long reads) and take alternative -assembly variations into consideration. This is all work in progress. -

-
-
- -
-

12 How do I change metadata?

- -
- -
-

13 How do I change the work flows?

-
-

-Workflows are on github and can be modified. See also the BLOG -http://covid19.genenetwork.org/blog on workflows. -

-
-
- -
-

14 How do I change the source code?

-
-

-Go to our source code repositories, fork/clone the repository, change -something and submit a pull request (PR). That easy! Check out how -many PRs we already merged. -

-
-
- -
-

15 Should I choose CC-BY or CC0?

-
-

-Restrictive data licenses are hampering data sharing and reproducible -research. CC0 is the preferred license because it gives researchers -the most freedom. Since we provide metadata there is no reason for -others not to honour your work. We also provide CC-BY as an option -because we know people like the attribution clause. -

- -

-In all honesty: we prefer both data and software to be free. -

-
-
- -
-

16 How do I deal with private data and privacy?

-
-

-A public sequence resource is about public data. Metadata can refer to -private data. You can use your own (anonymous) identifiers. We also -plan to combine identifiers with clinical data stored securely at -REDCap. See the relevant tracker for more information and contributing. -

-
-
- -
-

17 How do I communicate with you?

-
-

-We use a gitter channel you can join. -

-
-
- -
-

18 Who are the sponsors?

-
-

-The main sponsors are listed in the footer. In addition to the time -generously donated by many contributors we also acknowledge Amazon AWS -for donating COVID-19 related compute time. -
