We fucking can! It's been in the 40s here. And here's a bit of fun about that rubella paper published in Nature the other week...we just sequenced some more fish including an electric ray. Sorry the tree is shit but we just did it. And the rooting in that paper is wrong. [shared file(s): rubella.trimmed.fasta.tree.png]

Wait, are you telling me that that paper I rejected for Nature but that Nature decided to go ahead with anyway might have rooted their tree incorrectly? I did tell them to be careful with their conclusions...

I'm telling you exactly that. Pretty crazy that the ray falls between the bat and the other mammalian samples.

Must be a bat-eating ray. Fuck knows.
