    Yuri's paper claims to have found a bat CoV with a CMV promoter, a bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal and a Hepatitis D virus ribozyme. Obvious things to add when you think about it. Definitely no assembly or BLAST issues.

    Clever trick to add the HDV ribozyme you have to say though. No one would have thought of doing that.

    @Kristian Andersen There is definitely some MERS in the data we got from Vietnam rat butts. Could be related to being run on machines in Sanger a few months after doing MERS from Saudi Arabia.
