Data highlights

The Data Highlights section showcases recently published datasets relevant to pandemic preparedness research by researchers affiliated with a Swedish research institute. Specifically, in our case we write about e.g. COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, infectious diseases in general, and antibiotic resistance. The goal is to highlight openly shared data that can potentially be used by many other researchers to make further discoveries.

To easily find data highlights relevant to a specific topic, simply click on the coloured tag and the page will filter and display only the highlights related to that topic. Alternatively, use the search bar to find highlights of potential interest.

If you have published or are about to publish data that you think should be highlighted in this section, please click the button below to suggest a data highlight and the editorial team will get in touch with you as soon as possible to discuss your suggestion.
