Abstract
Global cooperation, necessary for tackling public health emergencies such as the Wuhan pneumonia virus (COVID-19) outbreak, requires unimpeded access to data, analysis tools, and computational infrastructure. The current state of much of COVID-19 research shows regrettable lack of data sharing and considerable analytical obfuscation. In this study, we use all COVID-19 genomic data available in the public domain so far to (1) underscore the importance of access to raw data and to (2) demonstrate that existing community efforts in curation and deployment of biomedical software can reliably support rapid, reproducible research during global crises.
