Pathosphere.org: Pathogen Detection and Characterization Through a Web-based, Open-source Informatics Platform
Abstract
The detection of pathogens in complex sample backgrounds has been revolutionized by wide access to next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. However, analytical methods to support NGS platforms are not as uniformly available. Pathosphere (found at Pathosphere.org) is a cloud based open sourced community tool that allows communication, collaboration and sharing of NGS analytical tools and data amongst scientists working in academia, industry and government. The architecture allows for users to upload data and run available analytical pipelines without the need for onsite processing hardware or technical support.
