Eh?

In context

    I think the UK lineage is likely a weird example of a chronic infection that took off, while the BRA/RSA lineages are just a result of selection on the population.

    The plastic ones could have just been hitchhiking in the generating individual

    True

    Trevor has been going around saying the RSA lineage arose in sequence based on some genomes with only some of the mutations but they are not old sequences and I have heard that Tulio uses some weird homebrew bioinformatics that may call for reference occasionally.

    Eh?

    Exactly

    That's weird. I mean, P.1. has many overlapping mutations so surely those at least must be right?

    I thought they were more likely reversions than intermediates (still unlikely) but when I pointed them out to Tulio hesaid he thought they weren't real and they were fixing them.

    Oh.
