We strive to credit labs collecting specimens and generating sequence data prominently. But credit for data contributions is not zero sum – surfacing of data in popular tools generates visibility and does not infringe on future publications by the data generators. 2/5 2.5K views · 64 likes · 10 reposts · 1 replies 06 Nov 2025 · Open on X →

On Oct 1, 2025, @GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5 https://t. 54.2K views · 171 likes · 83 reposts · 5 replies 06 Nov 2025 · Open on X →
