Description
UShER is a program that rapidly places new samples onto an existing phylogeny using maximum parsimony. It is particularly helpful in understanding the relationships of newly sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes with each other and with previously sequenced genomes in a global phylogeny. This has emerged as an important challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic for enabling genomic contact tracing since the viral phylogeny is already very large (>2M sequences) and is expected to grow by many fold in the coming months. UShER is much faster than existing tools with similar functionality and has now also been integrated in the UCSC SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser, which does not require UShER installation and usage know-how as described below for SARS-CoV-2 applications.

System Variables
- HPC_USHER_DIR - installation directory
- HPC_USHER_BIN - executable directory
