Why was the COVID-19 Data Portal set up?
Rapid and open sharing of data greatly accelerates research and discovery, and so it is therefore essential in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Understanding the abundance and expression of biological molecules can lead to understanding the biology of viruses and their hosts, which can in turn lead to development of treatments and vaccinations (Figure 2).
Learn more about the importance of molecular biology in dealing with infectious diseases and specifically COVID-19 in this video with Guy Cochrane (Head of the European Nucleotide Archive).
