Proposal for a sublineage of B.1 with G5595A [19 sequences as of 2022-08-19]

[corneliusroemer]

There's another branch of the B.1 polytomy that appears to satisfy the lineage designation criteria, defined by SNP 5595

This mutation is in the inverted terminal repeat - so there's a corresponding SNP at C191615T. This SNP does not appear in the Nextstrain tree because the 3' end is masked to prevent all ITR SNPs from appearing twice.
