But seems a weird coincidence given I pulled it out because of the Malaysian/Pangolin connection

In context

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

    Oh - I have just seen what you just said - Malaysia is the same as the Pangolin at 6049 where it differes from WA1
  2. 2020-12-06 11:11 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Yup

    ALL the pangolins have that one - none of the bats

    It is part of the pangolin which is more divergent than RmYN02

    Synonymous though
  7. 2020-12-06 11:13 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Haha, YES - I thought you had looked at the alignment!
  8. 2020-12-06 11:14 Andrew Rambaut open
    No - was just looking for ones related to WA1 that were from more plausible locations

    Given it is synonymous and the pangolin has loads of other mutations in that area it must be coincidence.
