Abstract

We report a coding-complete genome sequence of the severe acute re- spiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain SARS-CoV-2/BGD/GC001, iso- lated from a Bangladeshi patient with respiratory symptoms. Phylogenetic analysis assigned this strain to lineage B.1.1.7, which presented a total of 36 mutations in the spike and other genomic regions compared to strain Wuhan Hu-1 (GenBank acces- sion number NC_045512.2).
