You can try pangolin (LINK). Use the web front-end if you have only a few things to screen.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I have 4 sequences, and I used the link you sent me. 3 of them failed the analysis and 1 of them gave B.1 lineage. Does this mean one of them the strain is B.1 and there is no identified strain for the others?

Thanks in advance for the help,

You may use Nextclade (https://clades.nextstrain.org/), which assigns Nextstrain clades to the sequences.

This is really nice, thank you so much. When I uploaded my sequences, out of 4, only 2 of them were successful and showed the clades. Does this mean, the other two does not have known strain or something?

Thank you for the help
