Quick & Easy Access to Mpox Data Through NCBI Virus
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the recent upsurge of the mpox virus to be a public health emergency of international concern. Having timely viral genome data freely and widely available enables researchers to explore how this virus differs from viruses isolated and sequenced in the past. Therefore, NCBI’s GenBank is expediting the release of mpox data … Continue reading Quick & Easy Access to Mpox Data Through NCBI Virus
