"A social network for genomes"

StaphBook is a web app that reads from a PostgreSQL database and displays Staphylococcus aureus genomes in an easy to read format. With this app users are able to:

• browse genomes and view information such as isolation source and sequence data and be able to download the information as .csv files.
• find similar genomes by shared information such as isolation sources and by genetic distance
• favorite and tag samples by adding them to a group which can then be shared and viewed by other users
• annotate groups and view generic statistics about each group

• Node.js v.10.15.3 (newer versions should be supported)
