That's interesting about the Wales lineage - so if that's really spreading fast too and we believe there's a causalrelationship, then it's down to N501Y - potentially with D614G, but as you say, they all have that one (including that earlier cluster in Australia that didn't go anywhere).

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Awesome - thanks

(most 501Y from Wales are this lineage at the moment but it is changing)

So no other spikes apart from 614G but everyone has one of those these days

guess not - color blind

My feeling is the Welsh cluster isn't growing at the same rate. It is at least as old but hasn't taken over or spread toother places. Also may have been amplified by some hospital outbreaks.

Makes sense.

Just found a genome from mid July that has N501Y and the ORF8 stop Possibly part of the precursor lineage.
