Our paper on the emergence of genomic diversity and recurrent mutations in #SARSCoV2 is now out in #IGE tinyurl.com/yb4mxhes As with many others, we’ve been working hard tracing the evolution of #SARSCoV2 using thousands of genomes 🧬shared on @GISAID. Here's what we found👇/1 
Here we analyse >7500 viral genomes from all around the 🗺️ We show that the time of the host-jump of #SARSCoV2 into humans dates to late last year, consistent with estimates by several others
Genetic data shows #SARSCoV2 only recently started infecting us & was detected fast. /2

Around the world we see large amounts of regional genetic diversity with marked & repeated intros to many countries
Eg. we place genomes sampled from UK patients throughout the global tree. There is no such concept as a patient zero (see @nextstrain also for visualisations) /3
