Latest 'lineage of concern' report now available for 2021-01-13. Today we report on lineages B.1.1.7, B.1.351 /501Y.V2 and lineage P.1. @arambaut@viralverity@nmrfaria@MOUGK@Tuliodna
Today, 13,699 sequences on GISAID from 35 different countries were assigned lineage B.1.1.7.
410 sequences from 12 different countries across the globe were assigned lineage B.1.351/ 501Y.V2. @Tuliodna@houzhou
We also newly present data tracking lineage P.1, referred to on virological by @nmrfaria et al (virological.org/t/genomic-char…). This lineage has been detected in Brazil and Japan so far, with 15 sequences on GISAID, but has a number of biologically significant mutations. @arambaut
We present updated reports and sequence counts of B.1.1.7 on flights leaving London in October. A total of 51 countries have reported cases of B.1.1.7. @MOUGK@viralverity
And present updated counts of sequences on GISAID and reports of B.1.351/ 501Y.V2 on flights leaving South African airports in October. To date, 16 countries have reported cases of B.1.351/ 501Y.V2. @Tuliodna@houzhou
Currently all reports of P.1 are represented by sequences on GISAID. @nmrfaria@arambaut
As always, please alert us to any reports of lineages of concern we may not have covered either via Twitter or by PR here: github.com/cov-lineages/g…
