I agree with Andrew that the main point is that our analysis would not have changed much at all without RaTG13. The pangolin CoVs (that Alina seems focused on) and other BtCoVs were sufficient for the Proximal Origins analysis. I do recall a PR that talked of a 99% CoV that unfortunately never came.

> Update from Vegard: ```Quick update: We were in the end able to obtain a decent assembly of RaTG13. The description of their approachis lacking to say the least, but the genome seems legit enough, and seems extremely unlikely to involve any sort offraud.We'll post a little commenn on virological, as there might be others looking into the same question.```

Hah - I'm glad they're so thorough before bugging other scientists... I'm downloading the raw data now - lemme have a quick look

Yeah, no concerns really @Andrew Rambaut [shared file(s): RaTG13.jpg]

Very few unresolved bases (a handful)

Good to see - Is there an analysis of the pango data? That seems to be a sticking point as well.

"who knows where this will go next" --- not going away anytime soon - too important for the Presidential election -thanks for the rapid science response to Yan. Tucker/Yan now playing the censorship/victim card since Twittersuspended/flagged their accounts. Reminds me of the Grand Wizard - getting his NIH grant suspended was probably the best thing that ever happened to him.

I haven't looked at the pangolin data - I'm not quite sure where the raw data is since I believe it was all uploaded tothe Chinese data portals. Might be good to do an independent review though - just so we have it. @Eddie Holmes -do you know where the relevant raw data live?
