# Serratus

Serratus is a collaborative Open Science project for ultra-rapid discovery of all viruses.

#### Paper: [Petabase-scale sequence alignment catalyses viral discovery](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04332-2)

### Background

_Forewarned is Forearmed._

Our primary goal is to generate the viral data to accelerate the global research efforts in fighting emerging pathogens. We are re-analyzing all RNA-seq, meta-genomics, meta-transcriptomics and environmental sequencing data in the NCBI Short Read Archive to discover new viruses. That is **>6 million biological samples** or >10 petabases of sequencing data.

### Contribute to Serratus
The `Serratus` team is actively looking to collaborate with all scientists and developers.

# Data Release Policy

Our primary goal is to generate the viral data to accelerate the global research efforts in fighting emerging pathogens. To achieve this:

- All software development is open-source and freely available (GPLv3)

- All data, raw and processed, will be freely and immediatly available in the public domain in accordance with the [INSDC Policy](https://www.insdc.org/policy/).
