Pathoplexus now supports the Andes variant of Hantavirus (ANDV) - the variant identified in the recent MV Hondius cases: https://pathoplexus.org/andv
The current dataset reflects all data available on INSDC (Genbank/ENA/DDBJ), plus any uploads from the community.
Sequences can be uploaded via drag-and-drop on our website (or via API) as Open (immediately public + sent to INSDC) or Restricted-Use (up to 1 year), which protects from preprints/publications without approval from submitters.
This is an ongoing outbreak of high interest, with few sequences available. In such a situation, Restricted-Use sequences are highly unlikely to be ‘background’ sequences. Please ensure you follow our Data Use Terms in preprints/publications & co-author with other submitters. Pathoplexus will enforce our DUT with journals and request retraction if necessary.
Our Executive Board fast-tracked this to support rapid data sharing as new sequences become available. We’ll continue to update ANDV on Pathoplexus in the coming days and weeks.
Huge thanks to everyone involved in caring for patients, testing samples, coordinating response, and sharing data; as well as to the Pathoplexus team and Exec Board for working at speed for this launch.
