PneumoBrowse 2: an integrated visual platform for curated genome annotation and multiomics data analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an opportunistic human pathogen responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates. Extensive genome sequencing revealed its large pangenome, serotype diversity, and provided insight into genome dynamics. However, functional genome analysis has lagged behind, as that requires detailed and time-consuming manual curation of genome annotations and integration of genomic and phenotypic data. To remedy this, PneumoBrowse was presented in 2018, a user-friendly interactive online platform, which provided the detailed annotation of the S. pneumoniae D39V genome, alongside transcriptomic data. Since 2018, many new studies on S. pneumoniae genome biology and protein functioning have been performed. Here, we present PneumoBrowse 2 (https://veeninglab.com/pneumobrowse), fully rebuilt in JBrowse 2. We updated annotations for transcribed and transcriptional regulatory features in the D39V genome. We added genome-wide data tracks for high-resolution chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq), ribosome profiling, CRISPRi-seq gene essentiality data and more. Additionally, we included 18 phylogenetically diverse S. pneumoniae genomes and their annotations. By providing easy access to diverse high-quality genome annotations and links to other databases (including UniProt and AlphaFold), PneumoBrowse 2 will further accelerate research and development into preventive and treatment strategies, through increased understanding of the pneumococcal genome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
