Would be sad - my three favorite zoos happen to be in NOLa, San Diego and Sydney.

In context

    Will do - test some monkeys too. Maybe the tamarins. They are my favorites.

    It'll be interesting to see if the whole zoo goes down with covid....

    @Kristian Andersen We are building a website that will track 'constellations' rather than variants. Combinations ofmutations of known or predicted importance. Were you can cross cut the data to see where those combinations have arisen and in what contexts (independent of the phylogenetic history).

    @Kristian Andersen Yeah, that'll be important to have, however, I'd love to have a way to "look up" particular mutations - e.g., E484K telling me it increases affinity and is involved in immune escape - so more on the functional side to make sense of the phylogenetic data. Would be similar to Jesse's 'maps', but with much more information. Not an easy task at all though...

    Separately - can I just point out that it's 85 degrees in San Diego today. I thought it was winter..?! :beach_with_umbrella:

    I'm particularly partial to gibbons.

    Possibly the second best thing on Twitter today (after Andrew's Variant Rant) https://twitter.com/mbeisen/status/1350181257313882112?s=20
