@Andrew Rambaut But saying it out loud only can get you in deep trouble.

In context

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

    Agree - it's freaky!

    The insertion ("TAGTGCGTGAGCCAGAA") around 630 could be interesting - obviously a short sequence, but it ain't from SC2 itself and the top BLAST results match fungi, cholera, and a fish...

    THis insertions are rare - wasn't there a preprint or virological post on those a while back?
