 This repository contains three workflows for the analysis of mpox virus (MPXV) data:
 
 - [`ingest/`](./ingest) - Download data from GenBank, clean and curate it and upload it to S3
-- [`phylogenetic/`](./phylogenetic) - Make phylogenetic trees for nextstrain.org
+- [`phylogenetic/`](./phylogenetic) - Filter sequences, align, construct phylogeny and export for visualization
 - [`nextclade/`](./nextclade) - Make Nextclade datasets for nextstrain/nextclade_data

 ## Usage
 
+If you're unfamiliar with Nextstrain builds, you may want to follow our
+[Running a Pathogen Workflow guide][] first and then come back here.
+
+The easiest way to run this pathogen build is using the Nextstrain
+command-line tool from within the `phylogenetic/` directory:
+
+    cd phylogenetic/
+    nextstrain build .
+
+Once you've run the build, you can view the results with:
+
+    nextstrain view .
