@corneliusroemer.bsky.social Short and clear report on SC2 variants: github.com/neherlab/SAR...

About 1 month after this monster BQ.1.1 appeared, an even more extreme sequence has shown up in Alberta. Like the BQ, it has 50 private spike mutations, but it also has >40 AA mutations elsewhere in the genome. 1/6
