Outside of the 2022 outbreak lineage B.1, this year has seen around a dozen of submissions from clade A.2 - roughly a percent of this year's sequences.
There's a cluster of 4 sequences in A.2 that may be worth designating due to the likely under sampled nature of the A.2 lineage.
There are 4 sequences in this cluster (the two Indian sequences have been resequenced from culture, I'm not counting them here)
2 of these sequences, the Florida and UK ones are on Genbank, the Indian sequences are on GISAID.
