@corneliusroemer this is certainly faster than KP.2.3 baseline , for unknown reasons ( the orf3d mutation is all to be verified for having an impact, but apparently here it has. @ryhisner : any thougth on Orf3D and this mutation?)

[FedeGueli]

@Over-There-Is could you add a reference for the Orf3D sequence? is there a paper with it?
When referring not to Consensus it is useful to mention sources.

New batch from Chile Uploaded today weirdly the count is still 155+3

I've not seen any evidence that ORF3d is expressed at all, so if A25983T is relevant, I don't think it would be because it changes ORF3d.

Thanks Ryan. It should have something different because it has an advantage over KP.2.3 baseline (so including all the evovled descendants) : https://cov-spectrum.org/explore/World/AllSamples/Past3M/variants?nextcladePangoLineage=KP.2.3*&nucMutations1=C8293T%2CT18438C%2CA25983T&analysisMode=CompareToBaseline&

[FedeGueli]

And the advantage is the same also looking at US only where it is mostly sampled so it should not be a gographical effect/Sequencing intensity thing : https://cov-spectrum.org/explore/United%20States/AllSamples/Past3M/variants?nextcladePangoLineage=KP.2.3*&nucMutations1=C8293T%2CT18438C%2CA25983T&analysisMode=CompareToBaseline&
