@Andrew Rambaut - take a look at this alignment, comparing the Tanzania variant to the very early lineages, including the Malaysia one and WA1. This one appears to be closer to RaTG13, plus a bunch of private mutations (separately, I aligned to various B lineages, but didn't do this in a structured way). Here's what I can gather so far on the mutations that are shared. Ancestral (RaTG13), missing in Tanzania variant 18,060 Ancestral, private in Tanzania variant 190; 15,279; (23,012); 23,683 Ancestral, shared 8,782; (28,144) [shared file(s): tanzania_variant_snps.xlsx, tanzania_variant.geneious]

In context

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

Let's wait for the report - doubtless will be dealt with in detail

Good point! Diversity yeah - the PCRS for lASV only 70-75% sensitive vs NGS.
