   Hmm. Not sure about this paper - they are using software for detecting genomic selective sweeps using LD, I think.

   But they do then do experimental assays to confirm these computational results. I can't judge how good these are. The bottom-line that there has been a continual adaptive process.

   Yeah, the sweep analyses are shit - can't do that in viral genomes, only sexually reproducing organisms. That said, they DID come across a very very interesting mutation (by chance?) and the experimental data is good

   Yes, it's the experimental data that is interesting.

   @Kristian Andersen You're included for your 'fairy tales'. Someone has put a lot of effort into this shit.

   Well, they got my last name wrong so they can't be that clever... Unbelievable how much time some people have on their hands. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-02-21 at 4.13.10 PM.png]

   "PETER DASZAK MEMORIAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE". That's pretty good - I gotta admit.
