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

Yeah, that's an interesting theory - although it seems like 117 may actually also infect for longer? Did Oli ever do anyof the modeling analyses to try and flesh these differences out a little more?
-
I wonder if they have enough material to shotgun sequence the environmental samples from the market? Might tell them want animals were being sold my looking at the expressed host genes (e.g. COII). Doesn't even need to be the virus positive samples although they would be better.
-
Well, fuck me - so obvious and honestly I had not thought about it. Yes, they should and yes that should be totallydoable.
-
Could do a COI amplification - i.e., species barcoding?

I'll see if I can get George and Weifeng to do it
-
Yeah, they should really get on it - metagenomic sequencing should be sufficient. It'll be messy, but not a lot of data needed to do meaningful IDs
-
You sure you would be able to do species ID? Pretty unlikely to bring up anything with species level specificity
-
COI would be much more sensitive and there is the BOLD database
-
It will be messy, but there should be enough to identify the dominant host and at least to exclude humans
