Description

Before this Hackathon, the Graph Genome Browser Consortium was already working on implementing Pangenome Schematics: the first design capable of scaling to thousands of individuals in a single variation graph (a.k.a. Graph Genome). This hackathon will take the browser out of alpha stage and make it into a service useful for COVID-19 researchers.

Vision: Our goal is to provide a public server hosting Schematize browser loaded with an up to date COVID-19 pangenome with annotations on all our knowledge of variants and their effects aggregated across the globe. This global view of our current knowledge of the COVID-19 pangenome will be help enable faster access to data shared around the world. Virus sequence variation is relevant to vaccine targeting, virus tests, and triage.

Specification and Documentation

Documentation will be fleshed out over the next few days. A good place to start is the original Graph Genome Browser Specification document. There is also a technical paper with results in progress, but I need to get permission from all the other authors before sharing it.

  • Issues can be found on our GitHub repositories which has Projects for tracking cross-repo features.
  • Deploy and local installation: Toshiyuki has created a pipeline which checkout the latest versions of our repo. This is the best option to start with. User friendly installation is one of our development goals.
