Integrative viral genomics and bioinformatics platform

基因组测序和相关的基于计算机的分析和方法从根本上改变了我们对病毒及其引起的疾病的理解。整合病毒基因组学和生物信息学（iVGB）平台的目的是支持CVR研究人员和外部合作者进行一系列以病毒为重点的研究项目，为更广泛的英国和国际病毒学社区提供专业知识，资源和培训。该平台由密切合作的基因组学和生物信息学团队组成。在英国是独一无二的，这两个团队都专门致力于病毒学，并由与CVR研究组合相关的广泛主题的专家组成。我们的研究将分为两个总体目标：（1）与CVR研究计划合作，整合病毒感染的基因组，进化和表型维度（包括使用现有的公共数据），以及（2）与准备平台，应对疫情和加强监测

Genome sequencing and associated computer-based analysis and methods have fundamentally transformed our understanding of viruses and the diseases they cause. The purpose of the integrative viral genomics and bioinformatics (iVGB) platform is to support CVR researchers and external collaborators across a range of virus-focused research projects, providing specialist expertise, resources and training to the wider UK and international virology community. The platform consists of the genomics and the bioinformatics teams, which work closely together. Uniquely in the UK, both teams are dedicated solely to virology and consist of experts in a wide range of topics relevant to the CVR research portfolio. Our research will be split into two overall objectives: (1) integration of genomic, evolutionary and phenotypic dimensions of viral infection (including the use of existing public data) in collaboration with the CVR research programmes and (2), with the Preparedness platform, response to outbreaks & enhanced surveillance
