Abstract

We propose the development of an integrated web-based data exploration tool for genomics, proteomics, phylogeny, evolutionary and geographical data on SARS-CoV-2 samples from Luxembourg supporting researchers and physicians to gauge the potential impact of viral evolution on virulence and transmission dynamics but also the efficacy of molecular detection methods. We believe that integrating different data sources and visualisation modes through a graphical web-interface will offer a unique perspective on the pathogen and serve as crucial tools to assess potential imminent risks. Our tool will enable researchers, clinicians and the general public to visualize and study different aspects of the evolutionary dynamics of the virus from most recent datasets using a single interface, reducing the need of cross-referencing and comparing different resources.
