Tracking and finding the next strain

As an open-source project, nextstrain hopes to be able to track pathogen genome data to improve outbreak response.  This project was developed for The Open Science Prize, which is a collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, the NIH, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to leverage data and open source content for advancement in biomedical research. The winner this year was nextstrain.

The site it nextstrain,org and is a online visualization platform. For this project they created visuals using data from the Ebola virus outbreak. They mapped:

Transmissions,
















phylogentic trees,


















and strain diversity. 








Their hope is that this project can be used to advance the epidemiology field. By using real-time data, citizen scientists, and interactive visuals they plan to real-time  data in order to better resopond to emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
