Hello! NextStrain is absolutely fantastic. We would love to create a local build for Wyoming. Would you all be able to provide some guidance for us in getting started?

Hi @LynetteGumbleton! The best place to start is [our tutorial for creating your own SARS-CoV-2 analysis with Nextstrain](https://nextstrain.github.io/ncov/index). This tutorial includes details about how to obtain GISAID data, how to prepare your own state-level data to include in the analysis, and how to customize your analysis to better represent patterns in your state.

The Nextstrain team is also working with [the SPHERES consortium](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/spheres.html) to setup semi-automated state- and territory-level builds for the United States. As part of this work, we have prototyped what a state-level build would look like including Wyoming. You can [view the prototype build for Wyoming](https://nextstrain.org/community/nextstrain/spheres-augur-build/wyoming) as a [Nextstrain community build](https://nextstrain.org/docs/contributing/community-builds). In this prototype, samples from Wyoming appear in red when the tree is colored by “division”.

If this seems like a useful direction for your needs, let us know and we can help you migrate the settings from this prototype into your own GitHub repository and setup your own community build.
