INTRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION OF SARS-COV-2 LINEAGE B.1.1.7, ALPHA VARIANT, IN DENMARK

Abstract Background In early 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (Alpha variant) became dominant across large parts of the world.In Denmark, comprehensive and real-time test, contact-tracing, and sequencing efforts were applied to sustain epidemic control.Here, we use these data to investigate the transmissibility, introduction, and onward transmi

Abstract Background Although considerable progress has been made towards annotating the noncoding portion of the human and mouse genomes, regulatory elements in other species, such as livestock, remain poorly characterized.This lack of functional annotation poses a substantial roadblock to agricultural research and diminishes the value of these spe
