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

429 complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences were obtained from clinical specimens in Jining City between January 2024 and December 2025. The dataset, authored by Haixia Yang and uploaded in 2026, characterizes lineage transitions from XBB.1.9 to BA.2.86 and then to the predominant XDV.1 lineage, with analysis of nucleotide similarity and amino acid mutations.

Use Cases

• Tracking lineage replacement dynamics based on the described sequential shift from XBB.1.9 to BA.2.86 to XDV.1.
• Analyzing spike protein amino acid mutation counts based on the reported averages of 42.67, 53.61, and 55.15 for different lineages.
• Identifying frameshift and stop codon mutations based on the reported ORF8 G8 stop, Q18 stop, and frameshift events 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 Omicron lineages.
• Includes identification of specific ORF8 frameshift mutations in 10 sequences.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown for the underlying data tables, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is geographically limited to Jining City, China.
