   Perhaps that is lab made too?

   You can't argue with people so dumb.

   Interesting recombinants - Andrew, do you have an automated way to detect these? We have seen some strange sequences lately.

   Was just looking for intermediates of B.1.1.7 - i.e., perhaps involved in the genesis events. Came across a bunch with some of the mutations but not all. The best ones were some that had multiple genomes so were clearlytransmitting - but the cool thing is they were sequenced in different labs so no lab funny business. Probably loads more but these are the low hanging fruit (about 5-6 sets)

   Interesting - not really surprised. So Bette is right? As in, her analyses are right?

   Once again Bette got the right answer but is using flawed methods. Her 3-sequence recombination method can't distinguish recombination from convergence.

   But recombination is no surprise to any one.

   That's what I thought - and yeah, recombination is absolutely no surprise to anybody who's been following this virus.I can assure you Bette will make full use of being wrongly right, though....
