Chicago-area COVID-19 sequencing update through the week of November 13th. BQ.1 and its BQ.1.1 subvariants continue to increase in proportion relative to other BA.5 lineage variants.
Our latest COVID-19 sequencing results data from Chicago region. Figures both show the same data represented as number of variants per week of collection or proportion of total per week. Only 3 isolates from last week sequenced so far, but BQ.1 is increasing. No XBB yet.
Congratulations to Northwestern MSTP @NUMSTP student Bettina Cheung @BettinaCheung on her @MMPConference Abstract Poster Award! Great job!
Congratulations to our stellar grad student @EstefanyRiosGuz for Best Early Career Poster at #RSV2022
