New in @veupathdb.org: Search for Genes by Short Variant Characteristics 🧬 Find genes by the amount, type & distribution of their SNVs and small indels across sampled strains, with 16 characteristics to filter on. Try it now on VEuPathDB or any component site: Searches > Genes > Genetic variation

Biological data resources are in peril. Funding for the databases researchers rely on every day is shrinking. If @veupathdb.org is part of your work, please ask your lab or institution to subscribe. Your support keeps us going. 💙 veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap... #data #parasitology #fungi #vectors

Your data, your call. With My Datasets on @veupathdb.org, you choose who sees it: just you, your collaborators, or everyone. Add rich metadata so public datasets are easy to find and reuse, and meet funder & journal data-sharing requirements. Try it! veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap...

Uploading your data comes with help. My Datasets on @veupathdb.org now has: ✅ Checks for RNA-seq & bigWig files before upload 📖 A Help tab that walks you through prepping data 🤖 An AI Metadata Analyzer for RNA-seq raw counts Give it a try: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap... #data #parasitology #fungi

What can you upload to My Datasets on @veupathdb.org? 📊 • RNA-seq counts (raw or normalized) • Phenotype data • bigWig tracks • Gene lists • Generic data tables All of it connects to data that has already been integrated into our sites! Take a look: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap... #data

Got your own data? With My Datasets, you can import it into @veupathdb.org and explore it alongside our genomic and functional data. Keep it private, share it with collaborators, or get it ready for public release if you choose. 🧬 Take a look: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap... #data #OpenScience

VEuPathDB is free to use, but not free to run. 💙 Our existence, upkeep and new features (like Diff Exp!) depend on subscriptions from the communities we serve. Has your lab or institution subscribed for 2026? veupathdb.org/veupathdb/ap... #data #OpenScience
