Quick update here (
@UWVirology
are fast!) with an additional #SARSCoV2 genome from the #seattlecoronavirus outbreak. This also groups with the same cluster, again supporting a single transmission chain. https://nextstrain.org/ncov?branchLabel=clade&label=clade:B4&m=div…; 1/2
There may be additional as yet undetected transmission chains. Only a fraction of the detected cases have yet been sequenced. Thanks again to rapid data sharing by @UWVirology @pavitrarc @GreningerLab via GISAID. 2/2

Per my post above, here is the sequencing of the virus
https://nextstrain.org/ncov?branchLabel=clade&label=clade:B4&m=div
My understand of the importance of this analysis is not just to show where the strains originated from, but scientists can estimate the level of spread as well (such as how many cases they can expect)
Thanks!
