📅CoVariants.org is updated with data from 2 March📅, as well as a very exciting new change:

Variants & mutations are now separated & clearly labelled - & each Variant of Concern has it's own page & data! 🎉

1/8

A new, improved left-menu now clearly indicates whether a page is concerned with a Variant (collection of mutations in one part of the tree) or a Mutation (one change, could be in many places on the tree).

Updated naming helps, too!
And menus collapse to keep things tidy.

And to help you find what you're looking for - a table to help you link up nomenclature!! 🎉

A lot of people have asked for this - it's not yet beautiful but it's already hopefully useful.

And you can go straight to the CoV-Lineages reports on the 3 main VoCs, too!

Each Variant of Concern (501Y.V1, V2, & V3) has their own page now, for focused information & data.

That also means - focal builds! Updated runs are in the oven - but you can check out 'trial runs' of 501Y.V2 & V3 below.

This means pages like S:N501 & S:E484 can now be great resources for more general information about these mutations, which can sometimes be separate from the main variants of concern.

This also changes how Per Country plots work - only Variants are plotted now, to avoid overlap between variants that share mutations

But - the 3 Variants of Concern are now broken down in plots!

6/8

We also have some snazzy new badges, to help you click straight through to more information, if you want.

Whenever 'Variant' or 'Mutation' is in a badge, it'll link straight through to the relevant page! (Sometimes they're omitted for tidiness - but the link still works!)

As always, I owe a huge thanks to @ivan_aksamentov who helps make my CoVariants.org dreams a reality!

And, as usual, a huge thanks to everyone who suggests changes & provides new links & information!
