2/ The addition of ANDV to Pathoplexus was fast-tracked by our Exec Board to aid data sharing, as new sequences become available. Pathoplexus lets sequences to be uploaded as Open (immediately public + sent to INSDC) or Restricted-Use (up to 1 year) - to encourage fast sharing.

3/ Sequences shared as Restricted-Use are available for all unpublished public-health uses (dashboards, reports, open analyses, website) with appropriate credit as outlined in our Data Use Terms - but their status provides protection from publication before the original submitters can publish.

4/ This is an ongoing outbreak of high interest, with few sequences available. In such a situation, Restricted-Use sequences are highly unlikely to be ‘background’ sequences. Please ensure you follow our Data Use Terms in preprints/publications & co-author with other submitters.

5/ Uploading to Pathoplexus is as easy as dragging-and-dropping files into the web browser - or use the API to upload as part of a workflow. We will be continuing to improve ANDV on Pathoplexus in the coming days and weeks.
