Revisiting Data by Design: An Interactive History of Data Visualization by @laurenfklein and the team at Emory University. Such a neat way to present the history of data visualization: https://dev.dataxdesign.io
While the book is forthcoming, the website already offers an impressive investigation into the contexts of historic maps and charts — featuring annotated originals and interactive recreations.

uclab.fh-potsdam.deFDA vaccine target LP.8.1, dominant since March, plateaued in April. June saw Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ, scion of "razor-blade throat" XDV, push LP.8.1 out of majority.
#CDC's last Friday dataset, updated Tuesday this week, shows Nimbus taking plurality, with Stratus XFG family also gaining share. Despite notice of moving to "longer reporting periods", for reason of "low number of sequences being reported" (see dot-hatching in below chart reflecting"less reliable" data), current dataset was still for periods two-weeks each.
Raj's dashboard, updated Sunday, shows PQ.2 as standout child of Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ; Stratus XFG in competition with kids XFG.2 and XFG.3; and LP.8.1 long ago overshadowed by LP.8.1.1/ NY.

Just corrected major bug by changing one assignment.
Purpose of including inline bubble #datavis of GISAID data was to demonstrate how major subvariants, not broken out by the CDC, were being obscured by CDC bundling those subvariants into ancestor for reporting purposes.
Which is what these #dataviz would have been doing, if only they'd been using the actual share of the given ancestor to set the size of its bubble. Instead, of, well (*clears throat with embarrassment*) the total sum of shares of the root variant and its descendants.
Would say that this was down to my focusing so much attention on dynamic legend and family grouping logic, but that ignores time spent adjusting how bubbles were aligned within tiles.
So, really, it was just that never bothered to consistency check the bubbles as drawn against data as given, assuming without validating that everything was correct.
Anyway, charts going forward now work as intended, reflecting when #CDC data hides more than it reveals.

A flowchart for navigating our climate predicament
flowchart.bettercatastrophe.comTwo weeks ago, Mike Honey noted that there are three recombinants that have arrived on Doppelgänger spike proteins, namely XFJ, XFM, and XFP:
https://aus.social/@mike_honey_/114611686572899925
Last week, Xu Zhu (HT D. Focosi) identified a superset of recombinants that have all arrived at a pairing of LF.7's NTD with RBD from elsewhere, namely: XFC, XFG, XFH, XFJ, XFM, XFN and XFP:
https://x.com/dfocosi/status/1931351676880879856
Above variants chart #AnnoPlot script is now updated to favor grouping by such emerging clusters preferentially over grouping by legacy ancestors.
As a reminder, recombinants happen when more than one virus strain is actively replicating in the same organism.
Here, that means two simultaneous infections, from different sources, finding a home in the same person.
When #PublicHealth is a priority, this should be a rare occurrence.
There are seven unique recombinants identified in this new cluster, alone.

Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ is a scion of left-field Razor-Blade-Throat XDV.
Razor-Blade-Throat XDV was a child of Winter 2024's WHO-Vaccine-Target JN.1 and left-field recombinant XDE.
XDE was a child of left-field Hyperion grandkid FL.13.4 and left-field Hippogryph scion GW.5.1.

Reskin of CDC's Variants Nowcast, and any significant variants in GISAID not broken out by CDC.
Five bar-style tree-charts, for fortnights through 5/25–6/7. Legend of last fortnight, organized by subheadings of color-grouped families and convergent clusters. Percentages overlay each color key, reflecting share as of most recent tree-chart.
WHO-Vaccine-Target JN.1 accounts for over three fifths. JN.1.11 for over two fifths.
For 5/11–5/24, packed bubble charts fill single-variant tiles, reflecting GISAID detail not shown by CDC's Nowcast.

FDA vaccine target LP.8.1, dominant since March, plateaued in April. June sees Nimbus NB.1.8.1, scion of "razor-blade throat" XDV, push LP.8.1 out of majority.
#CDC adds NB.1.8.1 only in latest, late-published public dataset. "Software error" that heralded data delay remains unresolved. Hatching for "less reliable" data reflects "low numbers of sequences being reported".
Raj's dashboard, updated Sunday, shows Nimbus diversifying in May.
