This site is a data portal to help scientists, researchers, and clinicians mine the human gene expression changes that occur in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the pathogenic agent of COVID-19, as well as to provide resources for use of RNA-seq data from clinical cohorts.
Nasopharyngeal swab transcriptome are from the first batch of 735 patient samples (n=216 COVID-19 positive and 519 COVID-19 negative by RT-PCR) described in more detail in our paper here.
Shotgun transcriptome, spatial omics, and isothermal profiling of SARS-CoV-2 infection reveals unique host responses, viral diversification, and drug interactions
Nature Communications, 2021
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21361-7Tissue autopsy data are from 39 patients analyzed in collaboration of Schwartz lab and Mason lab (manuscript in preparation). We used a shotgun metatranscriptomics platform (total-RNA-seq) for comprehensive host and viral profiling on 39 patients who died from COVID-19, as well as spatial transcriptomics data (GeoMx) data and RNA-seq on 190 organs (heart, liver, lung, kidney, and lymph nodes) from the autopsies of those patients. We compared and contrasted these in-depth spatial and tissue-specific transcriptome data with a replication cohort of nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs from 216 COVID-19+ patients and 430 COVID-19- controls.
