MOROS, Zoila C. et al. Web-tools for the genomic analysis of the 2022 Monkeypox virus global outbreak. Invest. clín [online]. 2023, vol.64, n.1, pp.68-80.  Epub 27-Ago-2023. ISSN 0535-5133.  https://doi.org/10.54817/ic.v64n1a06.

The resources and platforms available on the internet for collecting and sharing information and performing genomic sequence analysis have made it possible to follow closely the evolution the evolution of SARS-CoV-2. However, the current monkeypox outbreak in the world brings us back to the need to use these resources to appraise the extent of this outbreak. The objective of this work was an analysis of the information presented so far in the genomic database GISAID EpiPox™, using various tools available on the web. The results indicate that the monkeypox outbreak is referred as MPXV clade II B.1 lineage and sub-lineages, isolated from male patients mainly from the European and American continents. In the current scenario, the access to genomic sequences, epidemiological information, and tools available to the scientific community is of great importance for global public health in order to follow the evolution of pathogens.
