Browsing Collections

The Collections page is accessible from the "Collections" and "Browse Collections" menu items. This page shows all collections available to you, shown as cards in three categories:

• "My Collections" - owned by you

• "Shared Collections" - owned by other users and shared specifically with you

• "Public Collections" - owned by the Pathogenwatch team and visible to everyone

A Search bar helps you find specific collections by name.

This page is where you can delete collections owned by you.

My Collections

If you are signed in, the collections you own will be listed here. You can share these with other users or delete them.

Shared Collections

If you are signed in, this section will display any collections that have been shared specifically with you by their owners. Your permissions may vary, depending on whether you were invited as a "Viewer," "Editor," or "Manager" by the collections' owners.

Public Collections

Pathogenwatch provides pre-generated collections of publicly available genomes from important papers, surveys and in-house collections. These can be studied directly, and often represent the easiest way to use and download sequence and metadata associated with publications. You can also merge these collections with other sets of genomes, including your own downloads, via the Genomes page.
