Of course... It's okay Eddie - I want to unfollow myself as well :wink:

    Hmmmm that IS weird. Presumably though, if these reads are real surely they must be contamination from other sequencing experiments at WIV.

    E.g., I know people found plenty of evidence of Lassa in GTEx individuals from the Broad... Obviously there was nooutbreak of Lassa in Boston - just the Broad doing its thing.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure these are contaminants - you can see the reads via the raw SRA: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092059 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092060 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092061 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092062 Many other viruses in there too

    Let's hope that Hope was spreading things around on Trump's chopper.
  8. 2020-10-01 20:01 Kristian G. Andersen open
    LOTS of viruses in there - obviously contaminants. I'm surprised the tinfoil hats haven't picked up on it yet. YET.

    Yeah - reminds me of the rotavirus in the BASV metagenomic data. Not going to stop the Alina' and Yan's of the world from building a mountain, Yeah they picked it up the DRASTIC crowd.
