Fair Data

As an initial remark about data sharing: SARS-CoV-2 genomes are sequenced by a variety of different institutions, who submit their results to GISAID.org. From there, these data are only accessible after making a user account and then clicking through the UI to get the record you want. Simply fetching all genomes (it's only a few hundred, and they're 30k bases each so it's not a huge set) is currently not possible at all, let alone via an API.

Communication

Coming.

Ideas

Repackage SARS-CoV-2 sequences

• https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/sars-cov-2-seqs/

FAIRify (add metadata, identifiers, etc) reproducible research

For instance describe/package as an RO-Crate:
