Key Concepts

An overview of the three fundamental concepts of the platform: Sequence, Dataset, and Working Group.

Sequence

The basic unit of the platform. Each sequence represents a genomic element along with its associated metadata. Sequences can be public or private (see Data Sharing), depending on the submitter’s choice.

For DENV sequence analysis in Arbogen relies on an embedded analysis engine based on Nextclade (Nextstrain), ensuring local processing and data confidentiality.

Dataset

A dataset is a public collection of sequences published on the platform (see Dataset). It provides structure and context for data grouped around a specific theme, project, or study. A dataset may receive a DOI, enabling citation in scientific work.

Working Group

A working group is a collaborative space bringing together multiple users. It allows members to:

  • exchange sequences
  • work collectively on datasets
  • coordinate contributions within a shared project

See also Working Groups in the Collaboration & Sharing section.
