Welcome to the ARTIC real-time genomic surveillance community. Here, the ARTIC team will post updates and information about the ARTIC laboratory, bioinformatics and phylogenetics methods we are developed. More broadly this is a place to discuss the practice of real-time pathogen genome surveillance, at the moment focused on the nCoV-2019 pandemic. We aim to build a supportive self-sustaining community to rapidly disseminate knowledge and best-practice at this time. Please do go over to the Introductions thread and say hello. We prefer it if people register with their real names and affiliations.
