Some interesting portals have become interfaces to GISAID data with particular focuses: NextStrain [18] overviews emergent viral outbreaks based on the visualization of sequence data integrated with geographic information, serology, and host species; CoV-GLUE, 9 part of the GLUE suite [38] , contains a database of replacements, insertions and deletions observed in sequences sampled from the pandemic.	./cache/cord-291156-zxg3dsm3.txt	./txt/cord-291156-zxg3dsm3.txt
