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

Oh yes - but perhaps a bit of a missed opportunity for more Bullocks on FoxBusiness....Might have been fun but ....

@Kristian Andersen There's a recombination paper in the bioRxiv queue that would be good if you took a look at. Looks like garbage to me.
-
I found some solid examples of recombination with B.1.1.7. No surprises but pretty clear with multiple genomes sequenced in different labs.

This one does not look very good and talks about enhanced fitness. But I don't have time to look at it now as I haveto do another talk.

I see it Eddie - will take a look. We have a few very recent genomes that smell like recombination to me as well - I'm pretty convinced recombination happens quite frequently, so (as discussed before), I'm not surprised. That said, need proper evidence.

Yeah, junk. "The VOCs have a lot of mutations so they must be recombinants"....

*Key* paper from South Africa here - people infected with B.1.351 fully neutralize B.1.351 viruses AND neutralizenon-B.1.351 viruses pretty well. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.26.21250224v2

Also, one very interesting finding - although it's n=1. They had somebody infected by non-B.1.351 _but_ with a virus that had the E484K mutation. The serum from that patient absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to neuttiers against both B.1.351 and non-B.1.351 - so much so, they had to exclude the individual from most analyses. Ifthis holds up, we might have a winner for near-perfect vaccine antigen - spike + E484K, 2P, and dFCS. That'd becool.
