Videos about using the UCSC Genome Browser for analysis of SarsCOV2

 These look pretty useful and thought I would post here. Text is from the UCSC Youtube channel

This 5-part video series is for virologists and public health researchers interested in leveraging the UCSC Genome Browser and web interface to UShER (Ultrafast Sample placement on Existing tRees). These tools are a 'one-stop shop' to understand SARS-CoV-2 through genome annotations as well as track variants by placing your samples in a phylogenetic tree with millions of other SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Use the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser: http://bit.ly/sarscov2browser Visit our SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser and UShER quick start page with videos, scripts and more: http://bit.ly/ucsccovidbrowser COVID-19 Research at UCSC: https://genome.ucsc.edu/covid19.html 'The UCSC SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser' publication: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4158...
