Bioinformatics tools: Computational methods for the identification of Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and Yellow Fever Virus species and genotypes
We recently produced open access phylogenetic typing tools to classify Arboviruses, including Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and Yellow Fever Virus. These tools are been widely used by the scientific community and were published in Science (2018) and PLoS NTD (2019).

- Yellow Fever Virus - Genomic and epidemiological monitoring of yellow fever virus transmission potential. Science 2018.
- Genome Detective - Genome Detective: An Automated System for Virus Identification from High-throughput sequencing data. Bioinformatics 2019.
These tools are part of a long term and successful collaboration with University of Oxford, EMWEB (Belgium) and FioCruz Foundation (Brazil). The development of the tools have been funded by the SAMRC Flagship Program, the European Commission H2020 Virogenesis program and the NIH H3Africa H3AbioNet program.
