Don't disagree that with. I would certainly like to take the opportunity to respond to some of the nonsense written about the pangolin viruses. I'll check with Tommy where we are on this.

In context

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

Yes, great doc Bob. Get it out. Kristian and I have been dealing with some alignment trolls this morning.

Alignment trolls? Who'd have thought we would ever have such things.

Yuri Deigin and the powers of BLAST as an alignment tool. I finally blocked him as it was getting so tedious. Proximal Origins 2....I still wonder if we need to wait for more new data?

Quite possibly need more to hang it on. But it might be good to bash out some ideas and see where we are.

Also the idea that RaTG13 is a 'progenitor'.
2020-11-21 14:49 Edward C. Holmes open

Yes! That underpins 99% of the conspiracy stuff. So dumb. And how you end up with a pangolin-like RBD with a RaTG13 as a progenitor?

And when you have RM2 as well

Perhaps we should ask Nature Medicine if they up for Proximal Origins II? Given that the 1st one has 5 million accesses they might be up for it. I'll just add notes your doc Andrew.
