Do we know anything more about the epi of the Malaysian or WA1 cases - seems very key. [shared file(s): image.png]

    Thanks Bob. I'll head to the desert for a few hours to clear my mind, but I'll comb through this carefully. And yes, agreed about WA1 and I actually speculated about that a while back -https://twitter.com/K_G_Andersen/status/1338993282148302848?s=20

    Interestingly also there is a Malaysian case with exactly the same WA1 haplotype (Malaysia... pangolins...). But probably coincidence.

    Yup! Take a look at the alignment I shared yesterday... I think it's interesting

    Do we know anymore details about the Malaysian and WA1 cases - seems key.

    The Malaysian one you included has an additional SNP difference away from RaTG13 - I am pretty sure there was one that was identical to WA1 (but I did this analysis back in July so have lost all memory of it. Will dig out my notes.

    I don't know what to make of the Angolan/Tanzanian ones - need to get into a different head space for that.
