 This repository contains a [nextstrain](https://nextstrain.org) community build of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) that is accessible [here](https://nextstrain.org/groups/ViennaRNA/VEEVnext). Alternatively, you can drag & drop the [VEEV.json](auspice/veev.json) file directly at [auspice.us](https://auspice.us).
 
-Data in this community build rely on publicly available CHIKV genomes from NCBI Genbank. New releases are published on an irregular basis when a reasonable amount of novel sequences are available.
