SPSP Public Portal

The SPSP Public Portal provides transparent, near real-time access to public pathogen data collected within SPSP. As soon as genomic data have been submitted to public international archives (e.g. INSDC), data also become available on the SPSP Public Portal for anyone to browse and access the complete metadata catalogue. It is designed to support researchers in finding and accessing pathogen data according to FAIR principles.
