Proposal for a sublineage of BA.5
Earliest sequence: 3/17/2022 (South Africa)
Countries detected: mainly South Africa, with recent spread to various other European countries (e.g. UK, Denmark, Austria)
Defining mutations:
G16935A = ORF1b:M1156I
This sublineage represents c. 10% of all current BA.5
genomes but is apparently expanding since it is already present in
multiple European countries (UK, Denmark). The sublineage was recently
detected in Austria where it represents c. 40% of all BA.5 genomes
(6/14).
It is apparently a sublclade of the clades containing N:E136D and ORF1a:Q556K (#550)
so these issues may have to be resolved first before this one is
designated. However, this is a not a sublineage of the big branch
proposed in #551 since it is not defined by ORF9b:D16G.
