Figure 2. Comparison of rankings provided by 7 of the subgroups of the US National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases SARS-CoV-2 Assessment of Viral Evolution consortium for the February 2023 prioritization. Lighter colors indicate a higher ranking and darker colors a lower ranking; gray indicates that the group deferred or did not provide a ranking for that lineage. Two groups (Broad Institute team, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research team) were not able to provide rankings for the February 2023 prioritization. Appendix 3 Figure 1 shows tangle plots comparing rankings between all pairs of consortium subgroups.
