Late night in Europe but variant community is not asleep! A lot of designation made by the awesome @CorneliusRoemer , he does alone half of the global work on variants! @redbull you should sponsor him for life!
A lot of new things around got designated tonight:
3d >>>

and kudos to @wolfeagle1989: he is updating in real time #Collection42 so you can check all of them if fast or not.
Remember: any variant itself is not a reason to panic and our work is useful to design vaccine treatments and to inform timely the public health agencies

New Lineages:
we got designated the first triplete lineages (FLip + 478R) a step further in convergent evolution and one more bubble in the mega table updated by @dfocosi !
They are JF.1 (XBB.1.16.6 descendant ) and GK.1.4 (XBB.1.5.70 ) descendant

Then FL.1.5.2 sibling of Fornax but with different mutations: it adds 481K and 681R (convergent with BA.2.86 btw)

then JB.2.1 from South Africa with 245- 403-478-554 mutated ( all but 478 are mutated also in BA.2.86 )

HK.6 is Eris (EG.5.1.1) that got in addition also the XBB.2 defining mutation S:D253G

HG.2,GS.2 GS.3 GS.4 GS.4.1 and GE.1.3 are all Acrux XBB.2.3 different descendants, all with S:478R, which gained a few more commoly convergent mutations in the spike or outside the spike. Interestingly GS.4/4.1 has M:A104V as BA.2.86

Last ( If Cornelius got asleep) JE.1 it is a GJ.1 (XBB.2.3.3) Acrux descendant with 478R 450D (and 521S) so a new different combo on a fast backbone something to keep watched.

and @CorneliusRoemer, lucky us , is not sleeping so it got designated maybe the fastest lineage we are tracking HK.3.1 it is Eris with FLip and S:F157L (Convergent with Centaurus BA.2.75)

Hope i have made things as easy as possible.
take a look at collection42 to weigh them by yourself looking at the lower Confidential interval the one that more is close to the reality (if the number of sequences is more than 100 it starts to be reliable )
