Title: A dynamic nomenclature proposal for SARS-CoV-2 to assist genomic epidemiology

    Snippet: Coronaviruses also frequently recombine, meaning that a single phylogenetic tree may not always adequately capture the evolutionary history of the SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the assignment of some viruses may be ambiguous and may later need to be reassigned. We believe this will not detract from the utility of the system, and as it is intended as a tool for realtime genomic epidemiology, these re-assignment events will quickly become unimportant.

    Document: Coronaviruses also frequently recombine, meaning that a single phylogenetic tree may not always adequately capture the evolutionary history of the SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the assignment of some viruses may be ambiguous and may later need to be reassigned. We believe this will not detract from the utility of the system, and as it is intended as a tool for realtime genomic epidemiology, these re-assignment events will quickly become unimportant. In addition, if recombinant lineages arise, exhibit onward spread, and satisfy the requirements for lineage designation outlined above, then they will be assigned the next available alphabetical prefix irrespective of what their parent lineages are.
