Available data

ViruSurf includes sequences and metadata from GenBank in their Nuccore distribution from the Entrez APIs.
It also includes sequences and metadata from COG-UK in the last publicly available distribution of 2020-05-08.

Data acknowledgements

The authors would like to acknowledge the COG-UK consortium for providing valuable data from across the UK, resulting from the work of hundreds of people. If you wish to publish research using the data, please get in contact with COG-UK first to ensure that those who have generated the data can be involved in its analysis.
The COG-UK project is introduced in the Consortium paper.

The authors also acknowledge the depositions of worldwide laboratories to GenBank and NMDC.
