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)
-
So, to be clear, what happened on 12/10? The BGI sent a file to EBI?
-
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.
-
That's the bit that's strange - because typically you don't create a BioSample before you have the data, unless you know the data is immediately forthcoming and you want to make sure there's no delay in submitting the data.
-
So if those BioSamples were created on, say 12/25, then that's totally what you'd expect - but we're talking two weeks before there was any (official) realization of a novel coronavirus.

Yes, I don't get it at all. I'm contacting people now. But 2 weeks also sounds WAY too far in advance!
