Abstract

The avalanche of genomic data generated from the SARS-CoV-2 virus requires the development of tools to detect and monitor its mutations across the world. Here, we present a webtool,coronapp, dedicated to easily processing user-provided SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and visualizing current worldwide status of SARS-CoV-2 mutations.

The webtool allows users to highlight mutations and categorize them by frequency, country, genomic location and effect on protein sequences, and to monitor their presence in the population over time.

The tool is available at<ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://giorgilab.unibo.it/coronapp/">http://giorgilab.unibo.it/coronapp/</ext-link>for the worldwide dataset and at<ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://giorgilab.unibo.it/coronannotator/">http://giorgilab.unibo.it/coronannotator/</ext-link>for the annotation of user-provided sequences.
