We should collaborate on this - we have some githubs and the idea would be to store the definition JSON files wecould all pull off. SLACK_000975

    We are adding a thing into Pangolin that as well as calling a lineage will also call a VOC/VUI based on a set ofdefinition files.

    The other thing I think we need with VOC/VUI definitions is to have a 'type' genome. The example (preferably early) genome to act as a reference.

    Okay, great - we can probably pull from that then. We just made a quick decision to move over to PHE designationsfor VOCs - we'll peg ours to the most current list from them. Problem is, it'll piss off the CDC - but they're behind the curve and we need to do the right thing. Everybody is already moving over to Pango lineages and it's time that GISAID/NextStrain designations go the way of the dodo. Hopefully VOC/VUI can be standardized around a similar'community' driven effort as Pango.

    And YES to type genome - I have been bugging our team for introducing exactly that feature for weeks. Are you planning on having this reflected somewhere?

    Let's. Do you have a Slack channel set up? We should have Laura and Karthik join on our side

    I can do a slack share link into the Pango Slack

    Cool - that'd be great
