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

    > 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

    Very few unresolved bases (a handful)

    "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?
