About Pango.Network
Pango.Network is a global genomic surveillance platform for real-time analysis of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens. We provide the scientific community with the tools and nomenclature to track viral evolution.
Our Story
The Pango project was born out of the urgent need for a dynamic and responsive system to track the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A global, collaborative effort of scientists, developers, and public health experts came together to create a unified nomenclature and a suite of powerful tools to make genomic data accessible and actionable. What started as a rapid response to a global crisis has evolved into a robust platform for pathogen genomic surveillance.
