Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

We excluded them because we thought they were flawed. Some of the arguments are based on the fact there are no intermediates with only one of the two SNPs. But they are still there and of course the reviewers have pointed itout.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

But the folk in the BCCDC won't do anything about it until they have checked it with sanger sequencing

Eh? Don't they trim primers? iVar does that...

I don't know the details. It was Nick that was discussing it with them.

Hmmm. They certainly should. Does this affect the conclusions from your recent preprint?

Anyway - not my problem (Mike's problem).

It's amazing what a couple of SNPs can do :wink:

So what does Trevor think about the new proof of lab origins paper? He going to come out supporting it? Sure wayto hit the 1m followers.

One has to wonder how much noise there is in the dataset by now - between sequencing (including amplicon and RT) errors and contaminants. Probably ~10% of genomes are wrong.
