Nice. Thank you. I like also this document for the clarification it brings to denominations:
"...Although the terms mutation, variant, and strain are often used interchangeably in describing the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, the distinctions are important. Mutation refers to the actual change in sequence: D614G is an aspartic acid-to-glycine substitution at position 614 of the spike glycoprotein. Genomes that differ in sequence are often called variants. This term is somewhat less precise because 2 variants can differ by 1 mutation or many. Strictly speaking, a variant is a strain when it has a demonstrably different phenotype (eg, a difference in antigenicity, transmissibility, or virulence)..." (bold mime)
