Proposal for a sublineage of BA.5.5
Earliest sequence: 04.06.2022 (USA)
Countries detected: mostly USA, UK, Israel, Germany, Mexico, Austria
Defining mutation:
A22910G = S:N450D
This variant is defined by S:N450D and was first detected in USA. Now it is present in five other countries across two continents (105 seq on Usher as of 25.07.22).
Apparently there is a lot of convergent evolution taking place with regards to S:N450D as this mutation is concurrently arising in multiple "distant" BA.2 (#851, #772, #812, #814) and BA.5 (#843) lineages. ...
