I thought it might be worthwhile to do a quick primer on CDC.gov datasets and public data resources.

1. DATA.CDC.GOV (data.cdc.gov/browse)
Datasets from across the agency, in browsable, machine readable format (Socrata system). Other/older collections are on:

New, scientist-run virus database vows to be transparently run and simple to use Pathoplexus is starting with sequences for Ebola strains and two other risky viruses

From Science Magazine: “We believe that building trust through transparency is essential for encouraging broader participation in data sharing,” says Pathoplexus co-founder Anderson Fernandes de Brito @andersonfbrito.bsky.social
