Loculus

Loculus: Software to power storage, search, and sharing of pathogen genomes

Loculus is a software package to power microbial genomic databases. It is used by Pathoplexus.

Major features include:

• Upload and storage of consensus sequences and metadata using a simple web interface or a web API
• Flexible data preprocessing: Loculus comes with a Nextclade-based preprocessing that is able to align and translate sequences but it is also easy to implement and plug-in your own pipeline.
• Powerful searches: Loculus provides a user-friendly interface to search and view sequences as well as an API to query the data.
• Highly configurable: The list of metadata fields is fully configurable and Loculus supports both single- and multi-segmented genomes.
