   The post about the PangoGD HV indel is VERY interesting [smart guy that Tommy] - not sure whether the vero cell passage sequence was posted or not [????}. This is VERY similar to SC2 backfilling indel region 4 after Vero possage (Karthik et al). There are different "evolutionary/selective" pressures in these indels when you take them out of humans/animals and put them in cell culture. Tommy should make his post ASAP - it's quite important andanticipate/backs up what we're saying. Meanwhile @Andrew Rambaut there's a bit in the Ruff draft that's almost done regarding our friend Yuri of blast alignment fame - can you check for appropriateness?

   Yes indeed the stench of BS from the GSAID guy is vomit-inducing.

   I'm not sure I've seen the vero cell sequences either. I'll ask Tommy what his plans for it are.

   @Robert Garry I will take a look at the ruff today.

   @Robert Garry Great thanks! - few housekeeping tasks with seq Ids and refs but otherwise pretty clean.

   The Vero cell pango is indeed posted - interesting it backfills BOTH indel 3 and 6! [shared file(s): image.png]

   What is the nucleotide sequence? Is there a repeat? Could it be a slippage (forwards for deletion, backwards to insert).
