Efficient and secure integration of epidemiological data with pathogen genome sequence data is essential for identification of transmission clusters, monitoring of emerging mutations and targeting public health responses. However, this information is often collected across different organisations: epidemiological data is collected by public health units while genome sequence data is collected by diagnostic laboratories. Linking these sources often requires manual or semi-manual approaches, leadi...
