Overview
The Swedish Reference Genome Portal is a free national data service for aggregating, discovering, and visualising non-human eukaryotic genome assemblies and genome annotations (co-)produced by researchers affiliated with a Swedish institution.
This service is developed and maintained by the Data Science Node in Evolution and Biodiversity (DSN-EB) team as part of the SciLifeLab Data Platform, operated by the SciLifeLab Data Centre.
The DSN-EB team comprises system developers, data stewards, and bioinformaticians affiliated with SciLifeLab Data Centre and the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS), based at Uppsala University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
The Swedish Reference Genome Portal aims to:
-
Highlight and showcase genome research performed in Sweden.
-
Make it easier to access, visualise, and interpret genome data by lowering the barriers to entry.
-
Promote the sharing of genomic annotations that are rarely published.
-
Ensure all data displayed on the Genome Portal aligns with the FAIR principles and is available in public repositories.
Technical implementation and source code
The Swedish Reference Genome Portal website was built using the static website builder Hugo. The genome browser JBrowse 2 is used to display genomic datasets and is embedded into the static website. All data shown on the Genome Portal is sourced from public repositories. We retrieve a copy of this data from the repositories to display on the genome browser.
The source code for the Genome Portal is publicly available on GitHub under an MIT (open source) license. The Genome Portal is deployed on a Kubernetes cluster located at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
