[Eddie Holmes] Yes! He was good. I liked him. I told him we did all the work that the Turf. [2021-02-04 16:21:38] [Eddie Holmes] I told him that all the virus phylogeny stuff started back with Walter Fitch and that we took it to new places over beer. I was sure to mention Harvey's name.

[2021-02-04 16:22:04] [Eddie Holmes] The Turf was always much nicer the Kings Arms. [2021-02-04 16:22:49] [Eddie Holmes] The Turf Tavern is/was a great pub. Close to Zoology. I've not been there for years. [2021-02-04 16:23:27] [Andrew Rambaut] It even appears in Hardy's Jude the Obscure (apparently, I haven't read it).

[2021-02-04 16:26:39] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-02-04 16:26:39] The "Spotted Cow" is a better name [2021-02-04 16:27:39] [Eddie Holmes] Exactly what I was thinking. 1381 is pretty amazing. [2021-02-04 16:44:54] [Eddie Holmes] We've just got a (Sydney hotel quarantine) a lineage B.1.1.4 sequence with EriK. The genome does not contain any other notable mutations or deletions. I have attached the consensus genome here. Seen this before? [shared file(s): 21-010-0276.masked.fold.fasta] [2021-02-04 16:45:43] [Kristian Andersen]
