OXFORD, England and SYDNEY, Australia – May 17, 2021 – The emergence of more infectious variants of the COVID-19 virus is threatening to slow the global recovery and potentially thwart current vaccine immunity. To help governments and medical communities identify and act on these variants faster, Oxford University and Oracle have created a Global Pathogen Analysis System (GPAS) combining Oxford’s Scalable Pathogen Pipeline Platform (SP3) with the power of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This initiative builds on the work of a Wellcome Trust-funded consortium including Public Health Wales, the University of Cardiff, and Public Health England.
Now, Oxford and Oracle have created a Global Pathogen Analysis System combining Oxford s Scalable Pathogen Pipeline Platform (SP3) with cloud computing infrastructure.
First used for tuberculosis, SP3 has been repurposed to unify, standardise, analyse, and compare sequence data of Sars-CoV-2, yielding annotated genomic sequences and identifying new variants and those of concern. SP3 s processing capability has been enhanced with extensive new development work from Oracle.
The SP3 system will now deliver comprehensive and standardised results of Covid-19 analyses within minutes of submission on an international scale. The results will be shared with countries around the globe in a secure environment.
