SARS-CoV-2 Viral Samples and Reference Genome for Galaxy Training Network SARS with Galaxy on AnVIL Tutorial

In the lab activity, we'll see if there are genomic differences in the collected sample compared to the original SARS-CoV-2 genome (the reference). We need three files to do this: SARS-CoV-2_reference_genome.fasta : the reference genome VA_sample_forward_reads.fastq.gz: 1 of 2 raw read data files VA_sample_reverse_reads.fastq.gz: 2 of 2 raw read data files The sample for this activity was derived from data collected at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. The researchers collected the sample with the goal of being able to track the spread and evolution of this virus state-wide, nationally, and internationally. You can download the original data here. You can download the reference genome here.
