Thanks to #opendata sharing on @GISAID, we've added 202 new #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #hCoV19 sequences from all over the world to nextstrain.org/ncov!

This brings us to over 2,000 sequences in Nextstrain! 🎉

Let's walk through a bit of what's new...

1/6

@GISAID Among 82 new seqs from Wales (thanks to @SmallRedOne @tomrconnor @PublicHealthW @WalesMicrobiol), we see evidence for community transmission among many, which also cluster with older Welsh seqs

Other Welsh sequences show evidence of transmission with England & Iceland

2/6

@GISAID @SmallRedOne @tomrconnor @PublicHealthW @WalesMicrobiol 42 new sequences from Portugal (thanks to @borges__vitor @raqguiomar @GOMES__JP @irj_pt) are spread across the tree, like many European countries. Many cluster together, providing some evidence of community transmission.

(3/6)

@GISAID @SmallRedOne @tomrconnor @PublicHealthW @WalesMicrobiol @borges__vitor @raqguiomar @GOMES__JP @irj_pt 27 new Washington, 12 new Utah, & 11 new California seqs (thanks to @UWVirology @UW @UtahDepOfHealth @czbiohub) cluster primarily with other WA & USA seqs, with some scattered across the tree near European & USA seqs

(4/6)

@GISAID @SmallRedOne @tomrconnor @PublicHealthW @WalesMicrobiol @borges__vitor @raqguiomar @GOMES__JP @irj_pt @UWVirology @UW @UtahDepOfHealth @czbiohub 14 new Spanish sequences (thanks to @HospitalULaPaz) fall across the tree genearlly. Some cluster loosely together, again - interspersed with sequences from across Europe
