Thanks to #opendata sharing by @GISAID, we've updated nextstrain.org/ncov with 71 new #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #hCoV19 sequences!
- 67 USA (49 NY, 9 WI, 9 CT)
- 4 Sri Lanka

(Sri Lanka shown)

1/4

@GISAID The Sri Lanka sequences fall throughout the tree. 3 of them are found in mixed, more European-centered clusters (example in the left image). Only one sequence clusters close to other Asian samples (right image, non-asian samples in gray).

2/4

@GISAID @GMalavige @DinukaAri The majority of the new NY sequences falls within a large USA cluster. 4 of the sequences fall separately throughout the tree in more European-centered clusters.

3/4

@GISAID @GMalavige @DinukaAri @nyulangone The Wisconsin (left) and Connecticut sequences (right) are spread throughout the tree similarly to other samples from the same states (new ones are large orange dots).
