Title: A dynamic nomenclature proposal for SARS-CoV-2 to assist genomic epidemiology Document date: 2020_4_19
ID: l7ymcyw7_17
Snippet: A unique and important aspect of our proposed nomenclature is that the status of the currently circulating lineages be assessed at regular intervals, with decisions made about identifying new lineages and flagging those we believe are likely be "unobserved" or "inactive" because none of their members have been sequenced for a considerable time (>1 month for "unobserved" and >3 months for "inactive"). When visualising the epidemic we suggest that .....
Document: A unique and important aspect of our proposed nomenclature is that the status of the currently circulating lineages be assessed at regular intervals, with decisions made about identifying new lineages and flagging those we believe are likely be "unobserved" or "inactive" because none of their members have been sequenced for a considerable time (>1 month for "unobserved" and >3 months for "inactive"). When visualising the epidemic we suggest that these lineages should be no longer labelled to reduce both the number of names in circulation and visual noise, and to focus on the current epidemiological situation.
