[Eddie Holmes] I'm telling you exactly that. Pretty crazy that the ray falls between the bat and the other mammalian samples. [2020-11-30 19:05:52] [Eddie Holmes] Complete RdRp [2020-11-30 19:06:35] [Kristian Andersen] I don't understand evolution - it's so weird... [2020-11-30 19:07:31] [Eddie Holmes] Must be a bat-eating ray. Fuck knows. [2020-12-01 01:15:45] [Andrew Rambaut] Bat rays are a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIyN4Bp-rvE [2020-12-01 01:22:49] [Eddie Holmes] There had to be....actually, just found that the ray sequence is in fact from the TSA rather than one of ours so perhaps they fucked up in some way. Trying to resolve it. [2020-12-01 04:42:15] [Robert Garry] Do love those fish viruses! Certain symmetry there Eddie if you can point out THEIR rooting problem. [2020-12-01 07:09:49] [Robert Garry] Some things never change.... [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-12-01 11:42:23] [Eddie Holmes] Wow, Bob, I love that cover! [2020-12-01 12:56:02] [Kristian Andersen] PNAS with another corker... https://www.pnas.org/content/117/48/30679 They really need to stop publishing _any_ paper that has the word "sequencing" in it. [2020-12-01 13:34:40] [Eddie Holmes] Total shit. Can't see it was preprinted either. Self-communicated. I've consistently reviewed shit COVID-19 papers for PNAS. Every one. That journal is broken. [2020-12-01 13:39:12] [Kristian Andersen] Totally broken - and again, these PNAS shit papers actually get rejected on the bioRxiv... There's some justice in that. [2020-12-01 19:32:02] [Eddie Holmes]
