The focus is on providing the +best possible sequence data with associated metadata that can be used +for sequence comparison and protein prediction. +
+ ++Just to avoid the notion that PubSeq is a biorepository: it is far +more than that. We are not competing with the likes of GenBank, +EBI/ENA and GISAID - in fact, PubSeq sources much of the data from +those and they get ours. +
+ ++There is no conflict of posting data to multiple repositories. +
+ ++It is better to view PubSeq as an open precision medicine initiative that +allows for early detection of new variants and strains; very valuable +for both testing and treatment. We have live analysis work flows that +run on uploading a new sequence. Contributing sequences helps the +overall detection. At this moment the output is limited. We will soon +add interactive discovery tools. Uploading data from a sequencer will +give researchers all information they want in 5 hours without any +bioinformatics knowledge. We may even provide workflows that take +data straight from the sequencer. In fact, you get very little out of +existing biorepositories, in our opinion, unless you have solid +bioinformatics support. And even then there is the question about +comparing data that was created using different technologies and +workflows. How do you deal with that? +
+ ++With PubSeq we are in a position to reanalyse that data from raw +material when new insights arise. It is likely that COVID19 will be +around for another year at least. After that we should prepare for +the next pandemic. PubSeq is meant for that. We take the long view and +it will only get more powerful. Who knows: maybe the live analysis +part of PubSeq will be an approach that other biorepositories will +follow.
