Virological.org is a discussion forum for the pre-publication sharing and discussion of pathogenic virus sequence data. The forum was launched in November 2014 by Andrew Rambaut. [1] Scientists have often used the forum to publicly share the first available outbreak sequences, e.g. during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] the 2022–2023 mpox outbreak, and the Ebola virus epidemic in Guinea.

Overview

Virological.org is used for rapid pre-publication dissemination [11] of public health related information by a community of virologists, phylogeneticists and epidemiologists. [12] [13] [14] [15]
