About

This is a Nextstrain build for novel coronavirus, alternately known as hCoV-19 or SARS-CoV-2 that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. This build is visible at nextstrain.org/ncov.

Data

The hCoV-19 / SARS-CoV-2 genomes were generously shared via GISAID. We gratefully acknowledge the Authors, Originating and Submitting laboratories of the genetic sequence and metadata made available through GISAID on which this research is based.

In order to download the GISAID data to run yourself, please see Running a SARS-CoV-2 analysis

Please note that data/metadata.tsv is no longer included as part of this repo and should be downloaded directly from GISAID.

Clades

For information about how clades are defined, and the currently named clades, please see here.

Bioinformatics notes

Site numbering and genome structure uses Wuhan-Hu-1/2019 as reference. The phylogeny is rooted relative to early samples from Wuhan. Temporal resolution assumes a nucleotide substitution rate of 8 × 10^-4 subs per site per year. There were SNPs present in the nCoV samples in the first and last few bases of the alignment that were masked as likely sequencing artifacts.

If you'd like to customize and run the analysis yourself, please see the developer docs.
