IRIDA – Integrated Rapid Infectious Disease Analysis Project

The Integrated Rapid Infectious Disease Analysis (IRIDA) project is a Canadian-led initiative to build an open source, end-to-end platform for public health genomics.

Highlights

Data Management

IRIDA provides sequencing data and metadata management functionality to keep track of all your data from sequencer to result.

Analysis Pipelines

IRIDA provides a collection of workflows designed for public health genomics.

Data Integration

IRIDA's genomic epidemiology ontology supports the integration of genomics data with epidemiological, lab and clinical information.

Visualizations and Tools

IRIDA contains in-browser data visualization and a REST API for connecting external visualization systems.

About

INTEGRATED RAPID INFECTIOUS DISEASE ANALYSIS – IRIDA

Public health, food safety, and clinical microbiology labs around the world are embracing whole genome sequencing and genomic epidemiological approaches to modernize their infectious disease research, surveillance, diagnostics, and outbreak investigation programs. This new technology requires powerful, yet easy-to-use, intuitive software in order to transition these new Big Data methods out of the lab and into the front lines of public health activity. IRIDA is designed to make infectious disease genomics accessible to epidemiologists, clinical microbiologists, and the broader research community.
