The MeaNS is a web-accessible and quality-controlled nucleotide database designed to include comprehensive nucleotide data for Measles infection in commissioned by the WHO.

This web database development is funded and hosted by Public Health England (PHE), and is curated and managed by the Virus Reference Department (VRD) of the PHE.
