More and more laboratories around the world are releasing through the GISAID Initiative the genome sequences of the newly emerging coronavirus. The virus was first identified in late December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, where patients were suffering from respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia. Since then, the virus has been detected in several other countries.
The genome sequences of the emerging betacoronaviruses are crucial to design and evaluate diagnostic tests, to track and trace the ongoing outbreak and to identify potential intervention options.
