PASTEUR2030
Auspice: A new internal tool to show shareable resources (virus isolates and more) within Institut Pasteur!
The team ‘Evolutionary Genomics of RNA Viruses’ is pleased to announce the launch of a new internal webpage, auspice, to visualize phylogenies (virus, bacteria, genes…) in an interactive format using Nextstrain, an open-source platform. Set up by the Information Systems Department (DSI), this new tool is available to all Institut Pasteur members. It is part of scientific priority 1 “Infectious Disease Threats” of the Pasteur 2030 strategic plan.
The idea behind this platform is to allow one to quickly see which isolates of a given pathogen are available on campus.
The tool is only available on campus, or outside if connected via the Institut Pasteur VPN.
You can contribute!
Built as a crowdsourcing tool, the platform is available to everyone, and anyone can populate with isolates or pathogens. For the launch, only a selection of viruses and plasmids are available (no bacteria yet), so please feel free to contribute to its expansion. Your contribution(s) will make it useful to the scientific community!
