[2022-04-04 14:05:36] [Kristian Andersen] Very interesting how this is holding up! I say definitely update the Virological post. [2022-04-05 06:48:43] [Eddie Holmes] Good plan. [2022-04-05 06:50:09] [Robert Garry] it's up. [2022-04-05 06:51:54] [Eddie Holmes] Great! I've just been in a plane for 17 hours. Currently in transit in Darwin. [2022-04-05 07:05:18] [Robert Garry] THat's a lot of travel. I'm loooking forward maybe someday to getting back my wings too. [2022-04-05 07:05:23] [Robert Garry] After finishing up the current papers might be worth parking this somewhere in an actual manuscript. [2022-04-05 07:07:22] [Eddie Holmes] Travel is not what it was. I'm definitely not going back to the old days. [2022-04-05 07:08:19] [Robert Garry] NO surprise that the indel regions of Spike are all in the surface exposed loops shown here in spheres. These regions probably also define "blocks" that can be exchanged in and out during recombination.

Again no surprise, but sets limits on how much Spike can vary. [2022-04-05 07:38:56] [Robert Garry] @Eddie Holmes hope you're still OK with having a cameo on the maybe Science cover.
