UShER identifies relationships between viral genomes by adding them to an existing phylogenetic tree of similar sequences that visually depicts the evolutionary relationships among the genome sequences. This approach empowers "genomic contact tracing". That is, UShER tells you whether virus genomes are closely related and therefore possibly from the same source, or if they are distantly related and the infections come from distinct sources. When newly sequenced virus genomes are added to a comprehensive tree of previously sequenced genomes, contact tracers are often able to determine where in the world those genomes came from. UShER is the only available method that can do this in "real time". Our tool places genomes onto a comprehensive global phylogeny of more than 80,000 virus genomes in less than one second. </p> + <p> + <div style='float:left; margin-right: 10px;'> + <iframe width="267" height="150" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/humQ1NyZOUM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> + </div> + The <a href='https://www.cdc.gov/amd/training/covid-19-gen-epi-toolkit.html' + target=_blank>CDC COVID-19 Genomic Epidemiology Toolkit</a> + now includes a training module for UShER! + Module 3.3 includes a <a href='https://youtu.be/humQ1NyZOUM' target=_blank>video</a>, + slides (<a href='https://www.cdc.gov/amd/pdf/slidesets/toolkit-module-3.3-usher.pdf' + target=_blank>PDF</a>), + and links to more resources. + </p> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/images/covid19/UShER_example.png"> <img class="text-center" alt="Example output of UShER" src="/images/covid19/UShER_example.png" style="margin-bottom: 5px !important"> </a> <div style="text-align: right; line-height: 1"> <font SIZE=-1><em>Example UShER results displayed using <a href="https://nextstrain.org/" target=_blank>Nextstrain</a>.
