Ultrafast Sample Placement on Existing Trees (UShER) Empowers Real-Time Phylogenetics for the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
2020-09-28
Abstract excerpt
As the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through human populations, the unprecedented accumulation of viral genome sequences is ushering a new era of “genomic contact tracing” – that is, using viral genome sequences to trace local transmission dynamics. However, because the viral phylogeny is already so large – and will undoubtedly grow many fold – placing new sequences onto the tree has emerged as a barrier to real-time g...
