Abstract
The Bronx was an early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA. We conducted temporal genomic surveillance of 104 SARS-CoV-2 genomes across the Bronx from March October 2020. Although the local structure of SARS-CoV-2 lineages mirrored those of New York City and New York State, temporal sampling revealed a dynamic and changing landscape of SARS-CoV-2 genomic diversity. Mapping the trajectories of mutations, we found that while some became 'endemic' to the Bronx, other, novel mutations rose in prevalence in the late summer/early fall. Geographically resolved genomes enabled us to distinguish between cases of reinfection and persistent infection in two pediatric patients. We propose that limited, targeted, temporal genomic surveillance has clinical and epidemiological utility in managing the ongoing COVID pandemic.
期刊介绍:
Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, international journal in the field of precision medicine. Articles in the journal present genomic and molecular analyses of individuals or cohorts alongside their clinical presentations and phenotypic information. The journal''s purpose is to rapidly share insights into disease development and treatment gained by application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarker analysis, and other approaches. The journal covers the fields of cancer, complex diseases, monogenic disorders, neurological conditions, orphan diseases, infectious disease, gene therapy, and pharmacogenomics. It has a rapid peer-review process that is based on technical evaluation of the analyses performed, not the novelty of findings, and offers a swift, clear path to publication. The journal publishes: Research Reports presenting detailed case studies of individuals and small cohorts, Research Articles describing more extensive work using larger cohorts and/or functional analyses, Rapid Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant and/or novel phenotype associated with a known disease gene, Rapid Cancer Communications presenting the discovery of a novel variant or combination of variants in a cancer type, Variant Discrepancy Resolution describing efforts to resolve differences or update variant interpretations in ClinVar through case-level data sharing, Follow-up Reports linked to previous observations, Plus Review Articles, Editorials, and Position Statements on best practices for research in precision medicine.
