This study was part of a regional effort to develop an integrative transnational genomic surveillance network for SARS-CoV-2 as a proxy for a more ambitious regional infectious diseases genomic surveillance program.enPhylogenetic treeGeographyGenomic sequencingLineage (genetic)Transmission (telecommunications)DNA sequencingEvolutionary biologyGenomicsProxy (statistics)Data scienceGenomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in the Andean Community (2020–2024): integrating regional sequencing efforts from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia through “ORAS-CONHU” programarticle
