Most recent #CDC dataset, updated Friday, shows two Stratus XFG variants, XFG.1.1 and newcomer XFG.23.1.3 / RV, gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gained share, even as the XFY recombinant was overshadowed by its fellow PQ variants.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

Raj's dashboard, updated near two weeks ago, showed Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1, alone, at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada #BA32 grandkid RE.2 made a significant appearance in GISAID data (despite Cicada not yet showing up in CDC estimates.)

That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).

COVID‑19 variant BA.3.2 is spreading quickly across US – a doctor explains what you need to know | The-14

A new COVID-19 variant BA.3.2 is spreading in the US. Doctors say it may evade immunity but isn’t more severe, stressing protection and awareness.

Raj's dashboard, updated Tuesday, shows Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1, alone, at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada #BA32 grandkid RE.2 makes an appearance in GISAID data.

That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated over two weeks ago, showed two Stratus XFG variants gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gained share, lead by the XFY recombinant with XFG.5.1.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

Variants chart script has been revised. Bundling logic included a rule that was privileging Stratus XFG lineages.

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows two Stratus XFG variants gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gains share, lead by the XFY recombinant with XFG.5.1.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

Raj's dashboard, updated six weeks ago, showed Stratus dynasty diversifying, with Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 as first child, RP, approached sixth share of sequences, while XFG.14 line held below a tenth.

That said, GISAID data for the two weeks and change at the end of the most recent reporting period was dominated by paltry submissions from Nebraska (146 sequences), Wisconsin (140), Minnesota (128), Colorado (122), New York (91) and Illinois (78).

Optimizing #global #genomic #surveillance for early #detection of emerging #SARS-CoV-2 #variants

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows now seven XFG lineages, including recombinant XFY. These reflect strains as broken out by CDC in recent months, together squeezing out patriarch and remaining siblings, cousins & niblings.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family, is presently shown as holding out relative to XFG dynasty.

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows five XFG lineages, reflecting variants broken out by CDC in recent months, together squeezing out patriarch and remaining siblings, cousins & niblings.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family, previously shown as in decline relative to XFG dynasty, is now shown as rapidly gaining share.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.
