Proposal for a C.1 sublineage, circulating mostly in Europe in 2023-24 [160+ seqs] #36

corneliusroemer commented 6 months ago

Lineage C.1 (B.1.3.1) has a large, fairly diverged, sublineage that's been the most common B.1 lineage in Portugal in 2023-24 and was also sporadically observed in Germany and the US. GISAID only sequences point at the presence in China as well.
