No wait K417N needs to be KristiaN. And, surely somewhere there must be a synonymous mutation in a Glutamic acid codon. GAA <-> GAG. That would of course be EddiE.

In context

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

Plus all three have the deletion in nsp6 (which has therefore got to mean something)

E484K is actually called Erik (I checked with Erik Volz - he is quite pleased).

Yeah, I noticed those weren't fixed - which is interesting. Same for many of the others. WHY CAN'T THIS BE SIMPLE!! Okay, I'll rename Eeek to Erik :disappointed: I do wonder what's going on in nsp6. Sure, could be functional, but could also just be e.g., a recombination hotspotthat tends to obtain an indel during chronic infections. Such a weird virus.

I so want a BoB mutation, but, well, I guess I can't have that. I'm please K417N ended up being Karen - I don't needto be part of this game.... :man_in_business_suit_levitating:
