Abstract: idCOV is a phylogenetic pipeline for quickly identifying the clades of SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates from raw sequencing data based on a selected clade-defining marker list. Using a public dataset, we show that idCOV can make equivalent calls as annotated by Nextstrain.org on all three common clade systems using user uploaded FastQ files directly. Web and equivalent command-line interfac-es are available. It can be deployed on any Linux environment, including personal computer, HPC and the cloud.
