[Andrew Rambaut] Although with all the sub-genomic mRNAs being created in the second round perhaps it is worth distinguishing the actual production of the gRNA from mRNAs [2021-10-03 08:09:43] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-10-03 08:09:43] Also I have always considered transcription to be DNA->RNA? [2021-10-03 08:23:06] [Andrew Rambaut] @Robert Garry The 'second round' takes place in the ER so might be more likely to have lots of other templates to switch too, I guess. But first round will be way more consequential as all progeny would have the insert and the spike proteins would have the FCS. [2021-10-03 09:04:05] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-10-03 08:09:43] @Andrew Rambaut Agree - I don't like the terminology either - usually just say + to - or - to +. and for a positive virus of course as you say - to + can also be creating genomes so "replication" in my mind. [2021-10-03 09:05:15] [Robert Garry] Yes indeed - lots of the accessory proteins are just so the replicative intermediates can associate with membrane. [2021-10-04 12:51:25] [Andrew Rambaut] More FOI requests. ```I request the notes and content of emails sent/recieved and forwarded by Prof. RAMBAUT, for the dates 01-Feb 2020 -> 03-Feb-2020 inclusive. I also request content, attachments to emails and applicable notes /recordings made to accompany (or otherwise document) any teleconferences which were attended by Prof. RAMBAUT on Sat 1st Feb 2020, the first of which was at 7pm GMT, hosted by Jeremy FARRAR. Also, I request to confirm whether Prof. RAMBAUT attended the later teleconference hosted by Jeremy FARRAR at ~8pm GMT on Sat. 1st Feb 2020 (this conference having fewer attendees, and lasting "5-10 mins"), and if so, include any applicable documentation regarding this second call.``` I don't remember a second teleconference? [2021-10-04 12:55:51] [Eddie Holmes] Who's this from? [2021-10-04 13:07:38] [Andrew Rambaut] Journalist apparently - Thacker I would guess [2021-10-04 13:08:54] [Andrew Rambaut] Also loads of other requests for emails, etc. Going to assert the health and safety exemption. [2021-10-04 13:28:15] [Kristian Andersen] It's pretty clear what Thacker is up to. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-10-04 at 13.26.28.png]
