Description

Genomes of 56 fully sequenced isolates of the severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Each genome is drawn as a path. The length of the path is proportional to the size of the genome. Every fifth base is drawn as a circle whose color is based on the GC content (fraction of guanines and cytosines). The path curvature is proportional to the repeat content and the direction of curvature is determined by whether the GC content is lower or higher than average.
