Non-recombinant: XBQ

[szhan]

cov-lineages/pango-designation#1440

Below is info collated from the pango-designation issues by the RecombinHunt authors.

It is detected a recombinant by RecombinHunt-Nextstrain (not enough data for RecombinHunt-GISAID).

method	left_parent	right_parent	left_breakpoint	right_breakpoint
pango-designation	BA.5.2	CJ.1	-	-
RecombinHunt-GISAID	na	na	na	na
RecombinHunt-Nextstrain	BA.5.2.10	CJ.1.1	1638	1639

N.B. The RecombinHunt authors noted that the breakpoint intervals are unclear.

Discussion started in #285.

Quoting Yan: "No clear recombination, and no reversions etc on the nearby branches. Unless there is a deletion we are missing, I suppose."

Copying image from Yan. It seems like a sibling to XBK.
