Very interesting- how about the S1/S2 junction - HA379_CNSv1 seems close to RmYN02 - Maybe it and perhaps the other have indels there?

In context

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

The similarity scores imply that some are as close as RaTG13 in a number of genes. Will be good to see the Cambodian one in this tree as well. Interesting recombination events with respect to the pangolin viruses. Nature isan amazing thing.

What's interesting is that it's all over the place every time we find a new virus. We're only scratching 0.000000000000000000000000000000001% of the surface.

Exactly. So many viruses in nature that are close to SARS-CoV-2.

I'll see what I can find out.

I like the fact that the new ones are filling in some gaps...

Yes. I'm sure Alina and Yuri will be happy as well.
