Nextstrain provides clade or lineage information for a number of pathogens it already tracks, including influenza and enterovirus D68. Nextstrain also introduced informal clade designations for SARS-CoV-2 on 4 March 2020, largely to aid internal discussions and to create URL links allowing ‘automatic zoom’ to an area of the tree that was of interest. These clades names were ad-hoc letter-number combinations (e.g. A2a) and were never intended to be a permanent naming system (and never visible by default). Nevertheless, these clades have been used by some to discuss different aspects of the phylogeny on Nextstrain, underscoring the need for a more long-term, formal proposal to designate SARS-CoV-2 clades.

Our objective here is to introduce a naming system that facilitates discussion of large scale diversity patterns of SARS-CoV-2 and label clades that persist for at least several months and have significant geographic spread. This objective is distinct from and complementary to Rambaut et al. 2020 (1), who proposed a dynamic system for labeling transient lineages that have local epidemiological significance. Their proposal results in a large number of short lived labels that maintain some information on the hierarchical structure and facilitate discussion of local short term dynamics, but are not intended to provide large scale structure.

title: "Updated Nextstrain SARS-CoV-2 clade naming strategy"

**Trevor Bedford**, **Emma B Hodcroft**, **Richard A Neher**

The emerging 501Y.V1 and 501Y.V2 variants have pushed the Nextstrain team to revise our strategy for Nextstrain clade labels. Here, we propose a backwards-compatible update to make clades more adaptable to the continuing pandemic situation, and more useful to people working on the pandemic today.

In June we put forth an [initial Nextstrain clade naming strategy](/blog/2020-06-02-SARSCoV2-clade-naming/). This basic strategy of flat "year-letter" names was borne out of work with seasonal influenza, where the nested names of 3c2.A1b (etc...) can become unwieldy. In the “year-letter” scheme, years are there to make it easy to know what's being discussed in ~5 years when, for example, clade `20A` is referenced. Our June strategy called for naming of a clade when it reached >20% global frequency for more than 2 months.

Progress towards large-scale real-time genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has been remarkable with over 2 million viral genomes shared to [GISAID](https://www.gisaid.org/) from all over the world since Jan 2020. This has allowed detailed tracking of the [emergence and spread of variants of concern](https://www.who.int/en/activities/tracking-SARS-CoV-2-variants/) and is an essential pandemic response activity. In an unprecedented collective effort, these data were shared by hundreds of laboratories from all over the world, often within days or weeks of sample collection, and curated by GISAID. Such early sharing of unpublished data requires certain guarantees that submitters get credit for their contributions and a chance to publish on their data. Sequences submitted to the GISAID EpiCoV database are shared under [Terms of Use](https://www.gisaid.org/registration/terms-of-use/) that restrict resharing of sequence data or metadata.

With Nextstrain, we’ve done our best to respect these Terms of Use and we encourage data generators to share data to GISAID, which allows for comprehensive analyses. With [Augur](https://github.com/nextstrain/augur), [Auspice](https://github.com/nextstrain/auspice) and our [ncov workflow](https://github.com/nextstrain/ncov), we have provided academic and public health bioinformaticians around the world with open-source tools to analyze these GISAID data. But while guarantees such as those provided by GISAID’s Terms of Use are important, these restrictions also constrict and constrain data reuse, thereby adding friction to genomic analyses conducted by researchers and public health agencies.

**Cornelius Roemer**, **Emma B Hodcroft**, **Richard A Neher**, **Trevor Bedford**

The rapid dominance and increased diversity of the Omicron variant and its constituent sub-lineages has triggered another update of the Nextstrain clade naming guidelines and labels. Once again, we propose a backwards-compatible update, this time to allow more flexible and faster designation of clades as new variants appear and spread.

Our initial strategy of the 'year-letter' naming has been successful in keeping Nextstrain clade names short, clear, and easy to pronounce, and over two years into the pandemic, is accomplishing our original goal of remaining a long-term solution for distinct clade naming where the aim is to have a level of granularity that matches significant differences in biological impact or circulation patterns among viruses Nextstrain clades are coarser than the fine grained [Pango lineages](https://cov-lineages.org/).

We now provide regularly updated phylogenetic monitoring of measles virus at [nextstrain.org/measles](https://nextstrain.org/measles). This site displays phylogenies generated using genomic data from NCBI GenBank, and is updated daily when new sequences are uploaded to NCBI. You can choose to display one of two different phylogenies based on the following data types:
