    Laura/Karthik might suggest a couple of others join too, but this is the core team.

    By the way, WHO is planning to call them 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma' etc. which is probably a good a system as any butwe could still influence this.

    I hate the PHE names because they look so similar.
  8. 2021-05-07 14:42 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Yeah, alpha, beta, gamma could work - we talked about the need for different "levels" and the ability to move between groups (e.g., "CA" variant moving from VOC (which it should never have been...) down to a lower classification). The PHE names are indeed bad - I always have to cross-reference back to the table also displaying the pangolin names (but as you say, we need to label constellations, not necessarily lineages).
  9. 2021-05-07 14:42 Andrew Rambaut open
    Yes - that is what we can put in the JSON definition files. We could have current PHE classification, WHO, CDC etc.Linking to lineages (possibly more than one - but probably not) where it is found.
