I am not familiar with how GISAID works, but there any sort of signature that authenticates data and ensure integrity. If they backdated the post, could they also tempered with sequences data?
- mikeyouse 4y agoThey can definitely mess with the sequence metadata (date submitted, date published, authors, etc) - but they primarily host NGS sequences which can trivially be verified against the original sequencing runs maintained by the researchers, so it's pretty unlikely they've ever tampered with actual genomic data.
