Zach Hensel noticed that the Polish lineage #301 has a reversion at Orf7A:82 comment.
It turns out there are a number of independent occurrences of that reversion within Delta.
One that seems particularly persistent is one with N:183T, ORF1b:2432I on top that was at times big in Israel and is currently growing in Belgium and Denmark. It was apparently first sequenced in Sweden in 2021-21 then Finland, Germany, Belgium in 2021-22. What's odd is that in almost all these countries the lineage disappeared only to come back now. Artefact?
