DOI

This repository contains a nextstrain community build of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) that is accessible here. Alternatively, you can drag & drop the CHIKV.json file directly at auspice.us.

Data in this community build rely on publicly available CHIKV genomes from NCBI Genbank. New releases are published on an irregular basis when a reasonable amount of novel sequences are available.
