It's so interesting watching this get picked up by the news.
Many aren't aware but interestingly these variants are identified and designated in the open on GitHub, here is the GitHub issue for this B.1.1.529 designation https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation/issues/343 https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation/issues/343. I've recently started watching this repo as it's quite interesting reading about the different variants popping up across the world.

- LegitShady 5y agojust click on the json link below it?

- mdp2021 5y agoGitHub is being used by many governmental agencies as a repository for information, especially numeric and usable for automation (not just for code). Another contextual example is "how many contagions per district, daily", but you could also have "how many herons observed in that territory", etc.
- molticrystal 5y agoI thought the visualization provided by NextStrain was fairly fascinating, not to mention it is used by the CDC an other organizations: https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global
- _djo_ 5y agoThat’s not quite accurate, they’re identified in GISAID [0] and other platforms, which is where scientists upload sampled genetic sequences. It’s also out in the open and free to access. This GitHub repo is just about registering the Pango lineage, based on data already collected and published at other locations.
