Oh, your remember that weird BGI submission to EBI in mid-December 2019? It transpires that EBI just assign these slots randomly in advance...they have nothing to do with the date when the sequences were sent. So, there isnothing weird here at all.

In context

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

Ahhhh. Last mystery solved then - I did find that really weird.

Yes. Have noticed that 'BGI' and 'EBI' share two letters and are both 3 letter words like CCP and CDC. Staring us inthe face!

Got contacted by a guy called Jon Gertner at NYT who is writing an article about the golden years of virus gen epi and the Oxford group - apparently he has talked to you Eddie. Is interested in all the conversations at the Turf.
