Communicating scientific results while also allowing interrogation of the underlying data is an integral part of the scientific process. Current scientific publishing practices hinder both the rapid dissemination of epidemiologically relevant results and the ability to easily interact with the data which was used to draw the inferences. These shortcomings motivated the nextstrain project, for which auspice was initially devloped.
Auspice is software to display beautiful interactive visualisations of phylogenomic data. It can be run on your computer or integrated into websites. It allows easy customisation of aesthetics and functionality, and powers the visualisations on nextstrain.org.

Instead of simply presenting the data for someone to explore, use auspice to tell a story where you control what visualisation is presented.
We've just released version 2 of auspice with lots of new things (this website being one of them!) Click here for the release notes.
