https://virological.org/t/spike-protein-mutations-in-novel-sars-cov-2-variants-of-concern-commonly-occur-in-or-near-indels/605 I'm wondering if we shouldn't update the INDEL virological post with BA.1 and BA.2. The association ofthe Omicron mutations in BA.1 and BA.2 with indels is *even more pronounced*. Started to draft an alignment, but this should also included Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Also as @Kristian Andersen noted something up with the glycosylation sites. BA.2 loses its first N-linked site (whichis unlike any other variant of concern AFAIK), but interestingly to me BA.2 picks up a predicted O-linked glycan at349 that is also present in the BANAL viruses.
