  • pango-designation

    Repository for suggesting new lineages that should be added to the current scheme

  • There is a team of people over at https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation who assign the Pango designations (that is what the numerical codes like B.1.1.529 are called after software called Pangolin for classifying sequences as variants by machine learning). People open issues there with evidence that it should be a variant, and if accepted it becomes a new designation.
