SARS-CoV-2 Database is a knowledge database for SARS-CoV-2 virus research compiled from publicly available resources.  It consists of two databases, the SARS-CoV-2 contextual and sequence database and the SARS-CoV-2 BLAST database.

The mission of SARS-CoV-2 Database is to provide the research community with high-quality curated and freely accessible SARS-CoV-2 genomics and contextual resources.

SARS-CoV-2 Contextual

SARS-CoV-2 Contextual is a manually curated contextual metadatabase which allows search across all entries and attributes. It allows researchers to easily find samples of interest using the rich metadata and access the corresponding sequences (assembly, CDS or protein).

The graph below shows an exponential growth in the number of SARS-CoV-2 genomes submitted in public databases. Each of these submissions has been thoroughly curated by our expert team and published in SARS-CoV-2 database. We stand ready to welcome tomorrow’s data growth.

Not only the data has been enriched with dozens of attributes, but it comes with a collection of visualization tools to help researchers make sense of the it. Below is an example of graph showing the evolution over time of the different Nextrain clades. Welcome to the world of big data!

SARS-CoV-2 BLAST

The SARS-CoV-2 BLAST database consists of public available nucleotide and protein sequences. The BLAST algorithm finds regions of similarities between nucleotide and protein sequences to the SARS-CoV-2 sequences in the BLAST database and calculates the statistical significance.

Our services

To help the research against COVID-19, we developed the following services.

Browse the contextual database, plot data and download metadata and sequences.

BLAST your sequences against our BLAST database to find similarities.

Here you can download the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences (assembly, CDS and protein), BLAST database and the contextual SARS-CoV-2 DB.
