Sequenced and published genomes of global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolates. A) Proportion of global cases sequenced and shared on GISAID (https://www.gisaid.org) from December 2019 through January 2021, for which the second mode was largely driven by COG-UK as illustrated. B) Number of genomes sequenced and number of reported cases per country on a linear scale. Red, New Zealand (NZ); blue, other countries. C) Number of genomes sequenced and number of reported cases per country on a logarithmic scale. COG-UK, COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium (https://www.cogconsortium.uk); UK, United Kingdom; US, United States.
