I made a video about the use of phylogenies to understand the current coronavirus outbreak. I hope it is useful for your class if you teach genetics, evolution or virology – feel free to show in your lecture or assign as homework. On the Vimeo website, you can download the video.

I’m a student at UW, where they closed campus due to COVID-19 concerns. My introductory evolutionary biology TA shared this lecture with us, and it is so interesting and informative! Thanks for making this video.
