No, B. I'm perplexed by that paper - didn't read it in detail, but I don't think they can really do what they do. So many reversions observed during the pandemic and associated dates and biases in sequencing early on likely majorlybias interpretation. @Andrew Rambaut, did you get a chance to read it?

In context

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

    Malware to crack my computer and get access to all the incriminating messages from CCP.

    May be better to just revert to using your HP-87. Probably good to go for another 30-40 years at least.

    https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msab118/6257226 "We have made available the proCoV2 genome sequence in FastA format at http://igem.temple.edu/COVIDn19, which is the same as the NCBI reference genome with base differences corresponding to 1 - 3 mutations at positions 18060, 8782, and 28144, as discussed in the main text. In this mutation graph, COI for each variant is shown next to the arrow.

    I couldn't face it. I would just get annoyed

    Agreed. It's a very interesting question, but exceptionally hard to answer - working on some very early attempts with Joel + Marc.
