AMRnet: a data visualization platform to interactively explore pathogen variants and antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a substantial threat to global public health. Whole genome sequencing is increasingly used as a core method for pathogen characterization to support AMR surveillance. As a result, a vast amount of bacterial sequence data are available in public archives, yet the AMR-related information they encode is not readily accessible to those without bioinformatics expertise and is essentially invisible to policy makers. The AMRnet platform aims to make publicly...
