The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus emerged in December 2019 as a novel human pathogen causing a severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19). In the following months, the disease spread internationally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020.
We at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute are responding to the urgency of supporting biomedical research aimed at developing therapeutics and a vaccine for this devastating illness by fast-tracking the UCSC Genome Browser for SARS-Cov-2 and incorporating relevant biomedical datasets such as single-cell lung gene expression into the UCSC Cell Browser. +
+A manuscript describing this work, - -The UCSC SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser, -is in press and currently available from the -bioRxiv preprint server. + +The UCSC SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser, was published in the September 9 issue of Nature Genetics.
