"To study the dynamics of recombination among clinically significant #coronavirus lineages we developed a novel web-based software, IDPlot, that incorporates multiple analysis steps into a single user-friendly workflow. Analyses performed by IDPlot include multiple sequence alignment, nucleotide identity analysis, and tree-based breakpoint prediction using the GARD algorithm from the HyPhy genetic analysis suite (Kosakovsky Pond et al. 2006). IDPlot also allows the direct export of sequence regions to NCBI Blast to ease the identification of closest relatives to recombinant regions of interest. The IDPlot output is uniquely interactive and user-friendly, in particular, easing analysis of GARD results through an interactive display of iterative model fit improvement."
