Welcome to Galago

Answer basic epidemiological questions using pathogen genomic data, without having to become an expert in phylogenetics.

Developed by genomic epidemiologists, Galago helps public health officials interpret phylogenetic trees to make pathogen genomic data relevant and actionable during outbreak investigations.

Demo with real-world outbreak data

Genomic epidemiology helped public health officials understand a real-world outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 at a farm in Humboldt County. This demo report is automatically generated based on the same phylogenetic tree that was used in this investigation.

Analyze your data

Use your own phylogenetic tree of pathogen genomes for analysis in Galago. Galago runs entirely in the browser. This means that your data never leaves your computer and is never accessible to anyone else.
