Request for data addition/refinement for variants

[jamesmkrieger]

Please briefly describe your suggestion.
It would be good to have a field about variants so they are easily searchable rather than just being plain text.

Please provide the schema for the new/refined data class of interest.
List below all the keywords/values you would like to modify or add.

20E (EU1; D614G+A222V)
Alpha (B.1.1.7)
Beta (B.1.351)
Delta (B.1.617.2)
Epsilon (B.1.427 and B.1.429)
Omicron (B.1.1.529)

Additional context
Modelling variants and their mutations is important to understand what they are doing and this area will likely continue to grow. I have recently worked on this in both my previous postdoc in the Bahar lab (https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3907841) and my current Marie Curie fellowship in the Carazo/Sorzano lab (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.05.471263v2).
