EG.1 with S:Q954L[16 sequences ]

[Outpfmance]

Description Sub-lineage of:EG.1(XBB.1.9.2.1) Earliest sequences:2023-2-5,Italy EPI_ISL_16935797 Latest sequences:2023-4-8,Italy EPI_ISL_17483031 Countries:Italy(5 or 6),USA(1),Germany(1),Norway(1),Switzerland(1) Number of Sequences:9 or 10 GISAID query:Spike_Q954L,Spike_Q613H+G5720A,T28297C,C12789T,T23018C,A16878T Extra comment:One sequences in Italy EPI_ISL_17465439 Although the GISAID query is not found because the sequence is missing an A16878T, I think this is a problem of the Italian sequencing laboratory, and in fact it exists.

I set up a issue to facilitate our better detection.
