Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

Any lab that hasn't previously been involved in virus sequencing and isn't as comfortable with command line tools would likely use this caller. It's a big big problem.

In context

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

Interesting - we have seen quite a lot of 'reversions' in some of the VOCs. Who would be using this consensus caller? Is there a way to find out?

Preprint on the NYC sequences - pretty interesting. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.14.431043v2.full.pdf

I'm worried A LOT of people are using the Illumina pipeline - and there's no way to find out in most cases

Interestingly, none with both (kinda supporting this is a real effect - since they're independent events): https://outbreak.info/situation-reports?pango=B.1.526&muts=S%3AE484K&muts=S%3AS477N
