Where can I find SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences for the UK?
Oxford University's Bugbank project is designed to collect SARS-CoV-2 samples (and other microbial cultures) from UK Biobank participants for sequencing. Once completed this data will be available to researchers through the UK Biobank:


  We originally developed this system as a pilot study to determine the feasibility of prospective microbiological culture collection from UKB participants to create a microbiological biobank (‘bugbank’) for joint studies of epidemiological, human genetic and pathogen genomic risk factors for infection. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have repurposed the system to provide near-to-real-time data on SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative test results for UKB participants.
