I think they have found some dodgy sequence. Jotun Hein also sent us a preprint which claimed to have discovereda recombinant but when we looked, the negative control for that plate was hooching with reads.

In context

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

I'd reject it - if they then come back, it can go online. But the methods are incorrect.

There are some intermediates but we believe they are sequences of mixtures (we can look at the BAM files - they are all one ENA unlike the Wuhan genomes)

You could at least say they should contact CoG to collaborate
