[Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen 175 USA genomes with Eek. [2021-02-01 15:04:54] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen Picking one at random... [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-02-01 15:05:30] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen That one has 69/70 deletion too. [2021-02-01 15:05:51] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen 25 of them are P.2 from Brazil [2021-02-01 15:17:16] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen Yeah, but none of them are B.1.1.7, right? [2021-02-01 15:17:37] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen No. [2021-02-01 15:18:23] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2021-02-01 12:41:30] @Kristian Andersen I'm sure that'll change... It'll be interesting to see how those will compete with good old B.1.1.7 [2021-02-01 16:31:05] [Robert Garry] Working on another display of the spike alignments - first pass, so don't hold me to 100% accuracy. Also the indels are per force not to scale. @Eddie Holmes is Weifeng going to preprint his awesome new viruses soon? [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-02-01 17:55:44] [Eddie Holmes] Thanks Bob! I guess I'll start the paper with Weifeng very soon. He's just going to PCR confirm HA321, HA363 and HA442 now. I will encourage him to preprint it, but he's always a bit nervous this. I'll do my best. [2021-02-01 18:49:05] [Robert Garry] Thanks Eddie - If those spikes are exactly the same pretty remarkable. Maybe some difference at the nucleotide level? Third base? [2021-02-01 19:01:59] [Eddie Holmes] They were apparently sampled from a small botanical garden over a 6-week period.
