Orf1b:D54N was the defining of EG.5.1.1 and all HK* sublineages
Yeah great catch! I also mentioned the first seq in X group last week

credits added i forgot that sorry!
Still the initial 2.
It is still circulating despite very slow (5 seqs now, 4 in US and 1 in Brazil).
Spotted first by @ryhisner and @HynnSpylor in the groups
Sub-lineage of:JN.1.23.1 Countries:USA(2) Earliest sequence:EPI_ISL_19316700,2024-7-17 GISAID query: A22920T,T22928G,G25352T (Alternative query: G677A, A4518G,G13627A edited) UShER Tree: https://nextstrain.org/fetch/genome.ucsc.edu/trash/ct/singleSubtreeAuspice_genome_12c18_c510b0.json?f_userOrOld=uploaded%20sample
The Y453F attached to the JN.1.23 system provides a great ACE2 gain, but this gain also makes the ACE2 binding value too high, resulting in excessive viscosity. The appearance of R346T+F456V on this variant may be a turning point.
