After nineteen weeks of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave, we enter SLip wavelet. SLip (S:F456L) converges with S:R346T to give us FLiRT cluster.
A separate cluster, S:T572I, also prominent—with some members, including KQ.1, converging into S:R346T.
Meanwhile, JN.1.4 continues to hold a notable share in GISAID—despite never having been broken out by CDC.

Nineteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave.
After treating JN as a mostly undifferentiated block for months, CDC finally broke out eight more subvariants: JN.1.4.3 kid KQ.1, JN.1.7, JN.1.11.1 / KP, KP.1.1 and KP.2, JN.1.13.1, and JN.1.18.1.
Now that CDC is actually sharing this info, the explosive growth of KP family share is readily apparent.

Eighteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave.
After treating JN as a mostly undifferentiated block for months, CDC finally breaks out eight more subvariants: JN.1.4.3 kid KQ.1, JN.1.7, JN.1.11.1 / KP, KP.1.1 and KP.2, JN.1.13.1 and JN.1.18.1.
Now that CDC is actually breaking up JN.1, significant convergent variants are grouped.

Seventeenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, early April, some three tenths of this likely attributable to subvariants.
CDC breaks out JN.1.16 (~7% in GISAID), JN.1.13 (~6%) & JN.1.18 (~3%); continues to muddy data with variants moot for months.
JN.1.4, not broken out by CDC—still near ⅒ of JN sequences in GISAID—outpaced by JN.1.7.

Sixteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, entering April, easily three quarters of this is likely attributable to subvariants.
CDC breaks out JN.1.16 (~1% in GISAID), after JN.1.13 (~3%) & JN.1.18 (~7%); continues to muddy data with variants moot for months.
JN.1.4, not broken out by CDC, still near ⅐ of JN sequences in GISAID.

Fifteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, late March, easily three quarters of this likely attributable to subvariants—including upstart JN.1.4.
JN.1.4 still over ⅐ of JN sequences in GISAID. CDC hasn't broken out.
CDC has broken out JN.1.13 (~2% in GISAID) & JN.1.18 (~6%); continues to muddy data with variants moot for months.

Fourteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, mid-March, approaching three fourths of this likely attributable to subvariants—including upstart JN.1.4.
JN.1.4 still near ⅙ of JN sequences in GISAID. CDC hasn't broken out.
CDC has broken out JN.1.13 (~4% in GISAID) & JN.1.18 (~5%); continues to muddy data with variants moot for months.

Thirteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, entering March, approaching two thirds of this likely attributable to variants—including upstart JN.1.4.
JN.1.4 still near ⅕ of JN sequences in GISAID.
Lineages still evident in GISAID plurality Eris fam, although upstart XBB.1.41.1 grankid JC.5.1 ekes out singletons across multiple states.

Twelfth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, entering March, approaching three fifths of this likely attributable to variants—including upstart JN.1.4.
JN.1.4 still near ⅕ of JN sequences in GISAID.
Most other lineages nearly absent from GISAID, with only 23 non-Pirola samples, mostly remnants of XBB.
