Genomics have been playing a vital role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, with global teams of researchers sequencing more than half a million genomes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus so far. These efforts generate vast amounts of data, which are daunting for researchers trying to track the most worrying mutations, especially those in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein that enables the virus to infiltrate cells.

This is where computational scientists come to the fore. A team led by Intikhab Alam at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed an online system called CovMT that continually gathers data on newly sequenced genomes. Their website allows users to generate maps and timelines showing the evolution of the virus at global, continental or country-specific levels.

I thought they did not know or are not telling/disclosing how they detect the Delta variant.

thank you for this, I need to understand what it is saying,

because it looks like there are over 500k variants in the united states.

I think they need to start using Chinese characters for the variants

Just because some multi-million dollar lab can ID the "Delta" virus doesn't mean that your corner drug store test will be able to isolate and ID YOUR virus.

So, they HAVE NO DATA.

Here is another mutation tracker ("phylogeny") Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus maintained by the NextStrain team. Click on the "Play" button in the left sidebar to watch the thing evolve from the first day the Chinese turned the monster loose.

Scroll down the page to see the geographic distribution of the mutations.

Learn something true about Covid, rather than about fake variants: https://www.brighteon.com/a569c7c9-9572-47ed-ba3c-130b0c13aa55

They test selected samples via whole genome sequencing and extrapolate from that.

I learned more about the genomic testing yesterday. All they have to do is look at a different “window” on the strand and like Emril says, BAM... a new variant. XGTAGCTA vs GTAGCTAX in the virus strand XGTAGCTAX. Note the leading and closing X in the virus strand. Starting 1 place later yields a new variant. The X is just for clarity.

BTW, there were patents filed for the “novel” coronavirus as far back as the early 2000’s and Fauchi had a coronavirus vector AIDS “vaccine” patent rejected.

Things that make you go “hhhmmmmmm.”
