SARS-CoV-2 Whole-Genome Sequences from Jining China, 2024–2025

Jining City, China, is the source for 429 complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences collected between January 2024 and December 2025. The dataset, authored by Haixia Yang and shared on figshare, characterizes the evolutionary patterns of circulating Omicron lineages, including XBB.1.9, BA.2.86, and XDV.1, through phylogenetic and mutation analysis.

Use Cases

• Tracking lineage replacement dynamics based on the described sequential shift from XBB.1.9 to BA.2.86 to XDV.1 lineages.
• Analyzing spike protein amino acid mutations based on the reported average counts of 42.67, 53.61, and 55.15 for specific lineages.
• Studying non-spike gene mutations based on the identified ORF8 stop and frameshift mutations in 10 sequences.
• Comparing genomic divergence from the reference strain based on the whole-genome nucleotide similarity range of 99.64% to 99.81%.

Strengths

• Contains 429 complete genome sequences with a defined temporal split of 240 from 2024 and 189 from 2025.
• Provides specific mutation counts for spike proteins across three major lineages (e.g., XDV.1 lineage averaged 55.15 amino acid mutations).
• Includes analysis of nucleotide similarity to the Wuhan-Hu-1 reference strain, ranging from 99.64% to 99.81%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects a specific geographic (Jining City) and temporal (2024-2025) scope, which may limit generalizability.
