TL;DR
CoV-Spectrum is a platform that integrates global SARS-CoV-2 data to identify, analyze, and track new and existing variants, providing insights into their mutations, spread, and impact.
Contribution
The paper introduces a flexible platform that combines diverse data sources for real-time SARS-CoV-2 variant analysis and tracking.
Findings
Identified key mutations associated with variants of concern.
Tracked variant prevalence over time and geography.
Estimated transmission advantages of different variants.
Abstract
Summary: The CoV-Spectrum website supports the identification of new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and the tracking of known variants. Its flexible amino acid and nucleotide mutation search allows querying of variants before they are designated by a lineage nomenclature system. The platform brings together SARS-CoV-2 data from different sources and applies analyses. Results include the proportion of different variants over time, their demographic and geographic distributions, common mutations, hospitalization and mortality probabilities, estimates for transmission fitness advantage and insights obtained from wastewater samples. Availability and Implementation: CoV-Spectrum is available at https://cov-spectrum.ethz.ch. The code is released under the GPL-3.0 license at https://github.com/cevo-public/cov-spectrum-website
