@Kristian Andersen Yup. Super interesting - I had never really thought of this as a lineage thing, more as independent events. Strongly suggesting there might be different strains of Ebola virus living in different reservoirs -either due to geographical differences, or differences in the virus host range. This screams for a formal analysis :wink:

In context

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

Different virus, but this new RTT plot for Ebola is super interesting. @Andrew Rambaut have you been looking into this? Different reservoir host? [shared file(s): root-to-tip-with-labels.jpg]

@Kristian Andersen Fits perfectly with the idea of two episodes of latency: https://beast.community/ebov_local_clocks.html

@Kristian Andersen We have a paper in prep. Will need to add this new one in.

Just a reminder that HKU1 and OC43 spikes also have big predicted mucin-like domains in "place" of the ACE-2 RBD.
