Interactive SARS-CoV-2 mutation timemaps.


ABSTRACT: As the year 2020 came to a close, several new strains have been reported of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that has afflicted us all this past year. However, it is difficult to comprehend the scale, in sequence space, geographical location and time, at which SARS-CoV-2 mutates and evolves in its human hosts. To get an appreciation for the rapid evolution of the coronavirus, we built interactive scalable vector graphics maps that show daily nucleotide variations in genomes from the six most populated continents compared to that of the initial, ground-zero SARS-CoV-2 isolate sequenced at the beginning of the pandemic. Availability: The tool used to perform the reported mutation analysis results, ntEdit, is available from GitHub. Genome mutation reports are available for download from BCGSC. Mutation time maps are available from https://bcgsc.github.io/SARS2/.
