idCOV is a phylogenetic pipeline for quickly identifying the clades of SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates from raw sequencing data based on a selected clade-defining marker list. Using a public dataset, we show that idCOV can make equivalent calls as annotated by Nextstrain.org on all three common clade systems using user uploaded FastQ files directly. Web and equivalent command-line interfaces are available. It can be deployed on any Linux environment, including personal computer, HPC and the cloud. The source code is available at https://github.com/xz-stjude/idcov. A documentation for installation can be found at https://github.com/xz-stjude/idcov/blob/master/README.md.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
