New! A variant-relationship chart!
Bugfix! Starting a new year is hard - CoVariants has gotten over its hangover & is processing Week 1 data correctly!

Some had already noticed that there were a growing number of 'other' sequences showing up - sparking some questions.
These are 21L (BA.2) sequences - part of the Omicron family & a sister to 21K! But since CoVariants was only plotting 21K, 21L was relegated to 'other'.

21L (Omicron) is now officially a full member of CoVariants, with its own page, mutations -- & most importantly, a place in the plots!
We can see 21L sequences clearly in Denmark, India, South Africa, & Sweden. Numbers are often incoming, so interpret dynamics cautiously.

The 21L (Omicron)/BA.2 page is currently quite short - so I'd really appreciate contributions of links to studies looking specifically at this variant! 🙏🏻
You can make a PR directly to the CoVariants Github, but emailing also works!

The relationships between all these variants can be hard to remember - so we've also added a new chart from @nextstrain that shows the 'family tree' beautifully! (see Home & Variants pages on CoVariants)

This graph is generated as part of @nextstrain, but with particular thanks to @trvrb, @CorneliusRoemer, & @ivan_aksamentov - and to Ivan again for helping to implement it in CoVariants!

Finally, a thanks for @lucasrodesg for spotting a recent bug 🐛 - CoVariants got a little hung up on the end of 2021 🥂, & was accidentally creating 2 entries for 27 Dec 2021! 😬This meant some data wasn't getting into the final plots.

With help from @richardneher we've gotten CoVariants over its hesitancy to embrace the promise of 2022 🎇 - and all data in that tough transitional New Year period should be showing up now!
