@amniewiadomska suggests these new sequences as well: hCoV-19/South Africa/NICD-N22389/2021|EPI_ISL_7605590|2021-11-30 (posting on her behalf since comments are locked down) |

Yes - these are the same sub-lineage. A couple of the mutations listed above are unique to
|

Now added as BA.3 in v1.2.112 |

I don't think EPI_ISL_6906349 and EPI_ISL_4652284 qualify to be a sub-lineage but they might be worth reconsidering in light of overlap with all three of these in some places but only BA.1 in others, plus time/location information. I mentioned one of these elsewhere, but @c19850727 recently noted the additional one and also possibly related EPI_ISL_3838306. |


A new diverse genome has appeared within the
B.1.1.529lineage that has all of the shared mutations ofB.1.1.529, some of the mutations unique toBA.1and some unique toBA.2plus a few of its own.Name:
England/MILK-2D24AC9/2021, accessionEPI_ISL_7526186, collected2021-12-03It seems likely this is an additional circulating member of the
B.1.1.529diversity and that recombination has occurred in its history (although this is likely to have occurred prior to the emergence of theBA.1clade based on the pattern of mutations).As a single genome it doesn't yet require a lineage designation and at the moment it will be classified as a member of
B.1.1.529.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
