Now with new and improved flavour! Great to see that it generates the blast comparison between two genomes in-app.

AI folks now having to realise what GWAS folks did about studying bacterial genome datasets. Great work by great researchers

It is hosted in collaboration between the WHO’s Public Health Laboratory and Innovation Platforms Unit, the Epidemic and Pandemic Management Unit, and the Information Network for Epidemics (EPI-WIN).

The webinar will introduce the document’s key concepts and highlight its utility to inform data-sharing practices for data generators, platform development and funding decisions.

Please join us for the @who.int EPI-WIN webinar introducing WHO’s report on Attributes and Principles of Pathogen Genomic Data-Sharing Platforms. 24 November 2025, 1-2pm CET.
