CoV-Seq, a New Tool for SARS-CoV-2 Genome Analysis and Visualization: Development and Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 became a global pandemic not long after its identification in late 2019. The genomes of SARS-CoV-2 are being rapidly sequenced and shared on public repositories. To keep up with these updates, scientists need to frequently refresh and reclean data sets, which is an ad hoc and labor-intensive process. Further, scientists with limited bioinformatics or programming knowledge may find it difficult to analyze SARS-CoV-2 genomes.

Objective

To address these challenges, we developed CoV-Seq, an integrated web server that enables simple and rapid analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes.

Methods

CoV-Seq is implemented in Python and JavaScript. The web server and source code URLs are provided in this article.

Results

Given a new sequence, CoV-Seq automatically
