Modifications to B.1.1.529 (Omicron) definition #41

Closed rambaut closed 2 years ago

Remove nuc:C241T - this is in the masked out region of 5' UTR and is always ambiguous in Pangolin alignments Add spike:Y505H - was being called for reference in some early genomes but seems fixed in Omicron

Remove deletions, del:6513:3 and del:11283:9 ? Deletions are always called badly and the exact positions can be difficult to fix.

Do we want to expand the omicron or omicron (probable) while we are at it to make sure it captures those 2 outliers?
