So, to be clear, what happened on 12/10? The BGI sent a file to EBI?

In context

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

When do they add the sample collection date?

Once they submit the data

But the "creation date" is stamped in automatically - I don't think they'd have filled in any of the other information until they submitted the data - but that's a good question for Ewan

All the assemblies are on the CNGB too - but no automatic dates stamped. https://db.cngb.org/search/project/CNP0000881/ (submitter being "Weijun Chen" - but obviously a million people with that name)

No, on 12/10 BGI created four data entries with EBI. Data was then later filled in. Typically that's not really how it's done.

So creation is 12/10, but upload is at a later date (I don't think we can know when - collection date is 12/26 and the data was released to the public 1/30)

Creating a BioSample for a pandemic virus two weeks before it's known that you have a patient with said virus is alittle strange - if the timeline is correct.

The collection date sounds totally right. I don't understand why there is a file creation date 2 weeks earlier. Makes nosense at all. And why would BGI know about this? They are a commercial company that have nothing to do with Wuhan. WIV do their sequencing in-house I think.
