Genomic epidemiology reveals multiple introductions and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Indian state of Karnataka	2020-07-11		.txt	text/plain	3141	203	62	A comprehensive study of circulating variants of the virus in Iceland, which included over 580 complete genomes in combination with epidemiological information (travel history and contact tracing) revealed that while the initial importation of the virus was from China and Southeast Asia subsequent importations were from different parts of Europe 8 . While these studies have added valuable information on circulating lineages of SARS-CoV-2 in India, they have not comprehensively linked genomic data with epidemiological information. Here we report 47 full-length SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences obtained from individuals who tested positive for the virus by RT-PCR and present an analysis of epidemiological information combined with genomic data to elucidate the introduction and spread of the virus in the state. The data from this study using a combination of genomic epidemiology and contact tracing provides evidence for multiple introductions of the virus into the state, with sustained local transmission.	./cache/cord-269114-mdsiv6tr.txt	./txt/cord-269114-mdsiv6tr.txt
