It's hard to check a FASTA file for anomalies, as it's just ACGT etc.

It's much easier to check for anomalies in an analysis that uses a FASTA file.

Hence, we should turn loculus data into an analysis that can be more readily explored for anomalies, e.g. make an auspice.json based off loculus data.

Sounds useful! But I don't understand yet what you have in mind: could you please describe a bit more about what you are envisioning?
