Euro Surveill. 2020 Aug;25(33):200820c. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.33.200820c. PMID: 32820717.We show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three genomic nomenclature systems to all sequence data from the World Health Organization European Region available until 10 July 2020. We highlight the importance of real-time sequencing and data dissemination in a pandemic situation, compare the nomenclatures and lay a foundation for future European genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/COVID-19EuropeNGSSARS-CoV-2WGSNomenclatureSequencingPandemicsBase SequenceBetacoronavirusCOVID-19CoronavirusCoronavirus InfectionsEuropeGenome, ViralHumansPhylogeographyPneumonia, ViralRNA, ViralRNA-Dependent RNA PolymeraseSARS-CoV-2Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeSpatio-Temporal AnalysisWorld Health OrganizationAtribución 4.0 Internacional327944432532200141010.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.32.20014101560-7917Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinopen access
