Well, they do cite your CV, so there's that.

In context

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

Nah, that's just a conspiracy theory.

Just saw this - ```In fact, a Chinese BSL-3 lab (the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre), which published a Nature article reporting a conflicting close phylogenetic relationship between SARS- 35 36 CoV-2 and ZC45/ZXC21 rather than with RaTG13 , was quickly shut down for "rectification" . It is believed that the researchers of that laboratory were being punished for having disclosed the SARS-CoV-2--ZC45/ZXC21connection.``` They don't notice that that you are on that paper, Eddie?

So, am I in the conspiracy or not?

The rectification was for publishing the sequence, not the link to ZC45.

Do I get a citation?

Oh yes
2020-09-14 23:40 Edward C. Holmes open

I'm all for it then.

Ooh. Just saw this bit: ```Since many phylogenetic analyses categorize coronaviruses based on the sequence similarity of the RdRp gene only SARS-CoV-2 and ZC45/ZXC21 are separated into different groups/sub-lineages in phylogenetic studies.``` So they are saying 'they' used RdRp from a different virus to confuse phylogenetics!
