Surveillance & outbreak monitoring to serve hospital hygiene and public health
Real-time genome surveillance, outbreak tracing, and secure data sharing
From single hospital clusters to global pandemics, Genome Detective empowers public health agencies to detect, track, and compare pathogens in real time. Our platform enables rapid response and informed decision-making by integrating clinical, veterinary, and environmental data into a unified One Health framework.
With Genome Detective, national reference labs, public health agencies, and epidemiologists, can monitor emerging threats, identify clusters, and contribute to global surveillance networks.
Key capabilities
Identify viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens across samples and regions.
Cluster samples, trace lineages, and track variants for timely public health interventions.
Share selected datasets within the platform to support collaboration across research consortia while maintaining privacy and compliance.
Analyze human, animal, and environmental samples in one unified workflow to support early warning systems for zoonotic diseases.
From local outbreaks to international monitoring, our platform scales to provide actionable insights worldwide.
Case highlight
The Dengue virus is spreading rapidly, making robust genomic surveillance increasingly critical. However, existing genotype classifications did not fully capture its complex genetic diversity. Genome Detective collaborated with Verity Hill, Nathan D. Grubaugh (Laboratory of Epidemiology of Public Health, Yale School of Public Health) and others to develop an improved nomenclature for dengue surveillance.
This classification introduces two additional levels, major and minor lineages, providing more stable and consistent tracking across studies. The Genome Detective Dengue Virus subtyping tool was updated to report the new nomenclature, even from partial genome data, supporting stronger epidemiological and clinical insights.
