A novel approach to analyzing the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 based on visualization and clustering of large genetic data compactly represented in operative memory by A. Yu. Palyanov, N. V. Palyanova

“…With this approach implemented as a C++ program, we performed an analysis of various properties of the set of SARS-CoV-2 genomes available in NCBI Genbank (within a period from 24.12.2019 to 24.06.2024). We calculated the distribution of the number of genomes with undetermined nucleotides, ‘N’s, vs the number of such nucleotides in them, the number of unique genomes and clusters of identical genomes, and the distribution of clusters by size (the number of identical genomes) and duration (the time interval between each cluster’s first and last genome). …”
