Virological.org is a discussion forum for the pre-publication sharing and discussion of pathogenic virus sequence data. The forum was launched in November 2014 by Andrew Rambaut.[1] Scientists have often used the forum to publicly share the first available outbreak sequences, e.g. during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] the 2022–2023 mpox outbreak, and the Ebola virus epidemic in Guinea.[10]
Overview
[edit]Virological.org is used for rapid pre-publication dissemination[11] of public health related information by a community of virologists, phylogeneticists and epidemiologists.[12][13][14][15]
