the FLiRI branch was Branch 76 of https://github.com/sars-cov-2-variants/lineage-proposals/issues/1089
84, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg
Designated JN.1.16.2, LA.1 (346T) and LA.2 (346I) via https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation/commit/52f33370c5df719f0b25d0b8b78ced0727d1171b
I don't see any sequences that are only JN.1+C4777T. C4777T has appeared multiple times after other mutations in JN.1 (green circles below), and from many different countries, so I don't think C4777T is an artifact:
So I think it's reasonable that Cornelius designated
The tree definitely has the wrong structure for those, and I may or may not be able to fix it. But I think the designations are reasonable, and having the lineage labels will help to compensate for suboptimal tree structure -- at least the correct lineages can be assigned.
From branch 46 of https://github.com/sars-cov-2-variants/lineage-proposals/issues/1253
JN.1+C4777T+T22928C(S:F456L)+G22599C(S:R346T)/G22599T(S:R346I)
This is a lineage with serious usher misplacement issue. C4777T shouldn't be a convergent mutation, however S:456L and S:346T/I are very convergent, everything with C4777T shall belong to the same branch of JN.1+C4777T.
There are 3 misplacements for this lineage @AngieHinrichs @corneliusroemer 1: Usher misplaces JN.1+C4777T+S:F456L as JN.1.16+C4777T 2: Usher misplaces JN.1+C4777T+S:F456L+S:R346T as JN.1.16.1+C4777T 3: Usher misplaces JN.1+C4777T+S:F456L+S:R346I as JN.1.16.1+C4777T+S:T346I
