🎉CoVariants.org Update!🎉
22E (BQ.1*) is now available on CoVariants! It's visible as part of Per Country & Per Variant plots, on the shared mutation page - and of course, has a page of its own.

This is in line with the recent addition of 22E (BQ.1*) as a @nextstrain clade - read more on that below! 👇🏻

On the 22E page, you can read about some initial 22E / BQ.1 work on neutralizing titres, see a list of defining mutations, a plot of the variant growth, link to Aquaria protein viz, & see a list of other mutations present in the variant.

There's also a link to the 22E / BQ.1 @nextstrain focal build: nextstrain.org/groups/neherla…
Here, we can zoom in on the clade & get a closer look at how 22E sequences are distributed around the world, & their diversity.

On the Per Country page, 22E / BQ.1 is already clearly visible in the US & much of Europe, where it's already at 5-15%. Remember that sequencing data is always a few weeks (at least) behind - so it's likely higher today.

Finally, on the Shared Mutations page, you can see how 22E's / BQ.1's Spike mutations compare to other VoC, including its Omicron family.

More information on 22E / BQ.1 will become available in due course.
As always, CoVariants.org is open-source & we welcome your PRs & suggestions to add more studies & information to variant pages! (Or any error-catching!)

As before, I've created a file for 22E / BQ.1 mapping all defining mutations (relative to ancestral), including nuc->AA. This is available on CoV github!
Huge 🙏🏻 to all who helped check it! (Esp
