Where are the latest #nCoV2019 genome sequences from China? Now is the time we might expect to be able to use them to estimate transmission rates but... tumbleweed
-
Probably saving them for publications after seeing everyone else using their data for personal gain (bioRxiv and other publications)
I think maybe simple logistics could explain the absence. Wuhan has been under a lockdown for a few weeks now, so it's plausible that sequencing is currently too challenging and samples can't be shipped out.

Hard to say, but quite plausible. My guess, with zero insider info, is that with a large virology research institute in the city and a large set of clinical samples that some virus sequencing is ongoing.

The city is under lockdown AFAIK, so I'm not even sure they can go to work. But yeah - I also have zero insider info here.

The new diagnostics faculty includes multiple MGI sequencershttps://www.genomeweb.com/infectious-disease/bgi-partners-establish-large-scale-coronavirus-testing-lab-wuhan#.Xj9daSVOklQ …

Of the 87
#nCoV2019 isolates that have been fully sequenced and are available on GISAID, 61 are currently Asian isolates, 51 from China. There are 6 additional isolates on SRA and 15 assemblies on NCBI’s assembly db. Don’t know what the overlap is. But - many from China.
