Forum: GISAID must be called to release EpiCoV data

The scientific community is not satisfied with the use of policies being implemented by the German database GISAID. It is disrespectful to restrict the data of its provenance in a global health crisis. I call on the people who manage GISAID to release the data like the other databases.

This is the typical message when trying to download the 400,000 human SARS-COV-2 sequences "SELECT 10,000 SUBMISSIONS AT MAXIMUM!" Based on this, I want to ask this question: how have you been able to download especially about the 400,000 SARS-COV-2 genomes sourced from humans in a single download as a batch? If there is any method please expose it here in this forum.

There is already a long thread on this topic here: Petition to demand that the Federal German Government release all genomic data on SARS-COV-2

Hi Diego,

Also related to your question: Is it possible to download the full EpiCov database from GISAID?

To get data use the COVID-19 data portal. Maybe consider also signing the open letter in support of open COVID-19 data.
