Two potential sublineages of B.1.621.1, one with Spike Y449N and E583D, the other with Spike S939F #232
Comments
As cited in #299 there is an interesting thread on twitter on sublineage 1 by Ricardo Rivero @RicardoRH96 |
A new GISAID upload just came from Colombia. It continues to look like the issue in #299 is real, and S:E583D+S:Y449N continues to expand even as the rest of Mu is close to extinction |
It is necessary to keep an eye on this lineage, hope it gets designated soon. |
It looks interesting, yes, because it seems to be able to almost compete with Delta - but only in Colombia, not Chile. Colombia doesn't sequence much so the uncertainty is huge. But it does seem to have staying powers which is very interesting. covSpectrum |
That's why I got excited today when they nearly doubled the number of last two month's sequences. I don't think it's visible at covSpectrum yet. But still with the grand total of 5 sequences in October, it's too uncertain, and regional variation may obscure any real trends. In Chile it see to be highly regional too, like Atacama in the North? |
@MCB6 you could search on CovSpectrum just the mutations. |
And one can click on Chile's regions to realize that at one point, this Mu variety accounted for almost all of Atacama's sequences. But apparently not anymore. The strain dynamics in this region has several weirdly quick sweeps. Before mid-August it was Chile's usual Gamma / Lambda mix. Then Mu arrived and in just one months achieved total dominance (mostly, but not only, this substrain). Then Delta arrived and in another month the sweep was complete, with the classic Mu going away first, and the Mu+S:449N+S583D holding for only a little bit longer. |
Mu+S:449N+S583D was also in Lima, Peru in early August, seems to have disappeared by mid-September. 10 samples from Peru (they only started extensive sequencing in recent weeks, added over 3,000 genomes so far). Colombia added more October samples today. Mu+S:449N+S583D still accounts for ~10% of the recently collected samples (8 / 85 samples) |
Thanks for submitting. We've added proposal 1 as lineage BB.1 with 91 designated sequences in v1.2.113 |
New lineage designations BB.1 and BB.2 as per #232
It looks like BB.1 clusters outside of B.1.621.1 in recent UShER trees. It still clusters within B.1.621 so we've updated BB.1 to B.1.621.2 and withdrawn BB.1 in v1.2.122 |
