Any info out on the 'new strain' in phylogenetic / AA mutation terms?
Wonder if there's any chance increased circulation could be driven by false-negatives in testing. (happens in malaria with hrp2 deletion)
So if I understand correctly it's this clade on microreact https://beta.microreact.org/project/4ebHf85NFurDYcuc8tysBe-cog-uk-2020-12-09-sars-cov-2-in-the-uk/
N501Y also appeared during adaptation to mice https://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6511/1603
Filtering to only show samples after 15 Nov: Lime green strain making up majority of Kent cases and substantial proportion in London (and rare outside SE)
Microreact data over recent months, with rise of N501Y in Kent
(clearer pies - but the relevant pie is Kent rather than the accidentally circled one)
