Description

The dataset includes 864 genomic sequences obtained from COVID-19 patients aged 18 years old and above within the NYU Langone Health system between March 12 and May 10, 2020. Patients reflected the health system's catchment area (i.e., the greater New York City metropolitan area).

rRNA-depleted total RNA was sequenced, underwent quality control, and analyzed to produce phylogenetic trees. Further details on materials and workflow utilized for sequence extraction can be found in the Methods section of the associated article.
