Background SARS-CoV-2 related research has increased in importance worldwide since
December 2019. Several new variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged globally, of which the …

Motivation The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the rapid emergence of variants of
concern at distinct geographic locations have relevant implications for the implementation of …

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to unprecedented, nearly real-time genetic tracing due
to the rapid community sequencing response. Researchers immediately leveraged these …

The variants of concern (VoCs) of SARS-CoV-2 have highlighted the need for a global
molecular surveillance of pathogens via whole genome sequencing. Such sequencing, for …

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated its ability to
