Thanks to fast sequencing & #opendata sharing from Institute of Viral Disease Control & Prevention, China CDC & @GISAID, 3 sequences from the recent #SARSCoV2#COVID19 Beijing outbreak are now on nextstrain.org/ncov
They fall in clade 20B - frequently observed in Europe

@GISAID In our global build, the nearest sequences are from the Czech Republic, Taiwan, Greece & Portugal.
However, it's important to remember our builds are downsampled. We can look at the regional builds for different perspectives.
2/6
@GISAID In the Asian build (left) we see same Czech & Taiwan seqs, but also nearby seqs from Denmark, Columbia, Israel, Austria.
In the Europe build (right), we see the Czech & Denmark seqs, but many other sequences from Europe. Some (Portugal, Sweden) are only 1 mutation away
