Genome Canada launched the Canadian VirusSeq Data Portal today to track the evolving COVID-19 pandemic across Canada. McGill University researcher Guillaume Bourque, a professor in the Department of Human Genetics, along with his research team, led the development of the portal. They worked in collaboration with CanCOGeN VirusSeq and world-leading genomics scientists, including Drs. Fiona Brinkman (Simon Fraser University), William Hsiao (Simon Fraser University), Lincoln Stein (Ontario Institute for Cancer Research) and Yann Joly (McGill University).
The portal enables real-time data sharing and brings together SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences used to detect, diagnose, and anticipate the spread of new variants. Related metadata from the Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) and public health labs across the country will also be included. Genome Canada will serve as the data custodian.
