COVID-19 Galaxy service @ EOSC Synergy

An instance of a Galaxy portal for the processing of genomic data has been setup at:

https://covid19.eosc-synergy.eu/galaxy

The portal is freely accessible and includes data on coronavirae and specially samples from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) daily updated from the public international databanks, as well as some key tools for identification of mutations, phylogenetic analysis, sample processing and visualization.

The portal is an open lab for researchers that want to run their experiments without the burden of downloading data and installing tools, with easy tools for sharing data, workflows and results. The backend that supports the processing of the data is jointly provided by the EOSC Synergy collaboration.

Datasets available

Although every user can download its own data, the platform has already downloaded a number of collections:

  • All Coronavirus sequences from the China National Centre for Bioinformatics (CNCB) – nearly 40K sequences.
  • The collection of 961 2019-NCOV samples from China National Centre for Bioinformatics (CNCB)
  • A reference genome of the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1, accession number NC_045512.2.
  • The collection of 170 SARS-CoV-2 samples from Genebank

Reference genome indexes for bwa, gatk and bowtie2 for the NC_045512.2 SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1, can be built.
