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

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

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!

Then they constructed RaTG13 with that RdRp as well to act as a decoy.
