The detection, characterization, and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 recombinant variants is a challenge to public health authorities worldwide. Recombinant variants, composed two or more lineages, often have unknown impacts on transmission, immune escape, virulence in the early stages emergence. We examined 4,213 genomes collected between 2020 2022 from California describe regional statewide trends prevalence. Many these genomes, such as those belonging XZ lineage, novel likely originated within state California. discuss challenges limitations surrounding Pango lineage assignments, use publicly available sequence data, adequate sample sizes for epidemiologic analyses. Although will continue sequencing volumes decrease globally, this study enhances our understanding date while providing foundation future insights into emerging lineages.
