I'm a developer for the OSS Serratus project, https://www.serrartus.io where we have a web-portal used to explore where RNA viruses show up in public sequencing datasets (we've analyzed ~21 petabytes of sequencing data to make this dataset). There's lots of rich meta-data associated with these RNA sequencing datasets, so what I'm trying to do is create meaningful meta-data aggregation and associate them with different types of viruses to make a sort of procedural generated encyclopedia of RNA viruses. Be less biased by what scientists expect to see, and focus more on what is actually observed for virus biology and epidemiology. I've built a little proof of concept called `palmID` (www.serratus.io/palmid) but I think there's lots more to be done to make this really shine.
