Real-time accessible phylogenetics for every highly sampled virus

The scale of viral genome sequencing has outpaced the phylogenetic tools traditionally used to analyze it, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We present viral_usher, a unified framework for scalable viral phylogenetics built on UShER. viral_usher is a containerized command-line tool that constructs mutation-annotated trees directly from public sequence repositories with minimal user input,…
