Pretty interesting. Looking at RmYN02 the consensus is totally solid, however, I actually think there's another closely related bat CoV in there at a ~15% frequency. I'll dig a little deeper, but Tommy might be interested in looking at that

In context

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

It's just so soothing to see code run over my screen...

Yan is the fantasist. Alina has just lost it.

Here's what I'm assembling - missing anything? [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2020-09-18 at 15.39.27.png]

MP789 is the same(ish) as the one that was initially reported on virological

I SO hoped some of these intrahost mutations near the RBD or the FCS, but sadly no. Would have been cool!

You mean RmYN01? Yes, I've been asking Weifeng to get some analysis done on that for ages.

I think he said he only had an incomplete genome, including the RdRp, although even though that would be really interesting.

Sorry, you mean in the RmYN02 reads? I seem to remember Weifeng discussing that before. Might even be noted in the paper. Can't remember. RmYN02 is pooled from a number of bats - 11 or 13, I can't quite recall.
