In December 2020, software developer Angie Hinrichs at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), applied for access to a labor-saving data feed from GISAID, a nonprofit database of viral sequences including those of the pandemic coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. She wanted GISAID s data so she could display mutations on UCSC s coronavirus Genome Browser. That tool ties any position in the virus nearly 30,000-letter genome to other scientific information, much as Google Maps shows gas stations and restaurants near addresses.
With more than 700,000 genomes from more than 160 countries, GISAID is by far the world s largest database of SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Access to the free, nonprofit repository has become vital to Hinrichs and thousands of other scientists and public health agencies tracking the virus alarmingly rapid evolution.
