Cambobatcov spike pretty interesting - it has the E484 and 5/6 of the GD Pango/SC2 RBD residues we highlighted in PO1. Add to that the furin landing site QTQTN that it shares with PangoGD CoV and RatG13. [shared file(s): image.png]

So bottom line a new bat virus that confirms the authenticity of GD pangocov.

Brilliant work Bob! The Cambobatcov paper should be online soon I believe

That would be great - have some ideas gelling for an "opinion" piece for Virological. Something along the lines of:New sequences disprove conspiracy theories based on contrived origins of bat coronavirus RatG13 and pangolin coronaviruses.
