Ash dieback is a devastating fungal disease of ash trees that has swept across Europe and recently reached the UK. This emergent pathogen has received little study in the past and its effect threatens to overwhelm the ash population. In response to this we have produced some initial genomics datasets and taken the unusual step of releasing them to the scientific community for analysis without first performing our own. In this manner we hope to 'crowdsource' analyses and bring the expertise of the community to bear on this problem as quickly as possible. Our data has been released through our website at oadb.tsl.ac.uk and a public GitHub repository.
枯梢病是一种毁灭性的灰树真菌疾病，已经席卷了整个欧洲，最近还到达了英国。这种新出现的病原体在过去研究甚少，其影响可能会使灰树种群灭绝。有鉴于此，我们生成了一些初步的基因组数据集，并采取了一个不同寻常的举措，即在未进行自己的分析之前，就将其发布给科学界供分析使用。通过这种方式，我们希望能够“众包”分析，并使社区的专业知识尽快应用于解决这个问题。我们的数据已通过我们的网站 oadb.tsl.ac.uk 和一个公共 GitHub 存储库发布。
