Just uploaded the first #SARSCoV2 sequence imported from Italy to Germany on #Gisaid. First sequence from present Italian clusters AFAK. Outstanding team @ #charitevirology.
Note that 3 SNPs (positions 241, 3037, 23403) are uniquely shared with Munich cluster virus. Virus also groups with Munich sequence in tree. This is not sufficient to claim a link between Munich and Italy.
Why: viruses are still undersampled, common sources may exist, Italian virus has 5 more SNPs that are not shared with Munich sequence (10265, 14408, 28881,-2,-3; reference: EPI_ISL_40212).
