Many of the virus are from PREDICT. But if I look for these viruses online I see no record of them. For example, they mention Coronavirus PREDICT CoV-117 and Coronavirus PREDICT CoV-73 but I can't find any sequence or publication. [2021-04-05 13:55:30] [Kristian Andersen] Yup. And in terms of contaminants - many of these show up frequently, especially things like the Human mastadenoviruses [2021-04-05 14:01:23] [Andrew Rambaut] How is measles on this list? [2021-04-05 14:06:45] [Eddie Holmes] Yes, it's just garbage. [2021-04-05 14:19:00] [Robert Garry] No Bas-Congo Virus? Maybe I'm missing it. The only "human pathogen" discovered by PREDICT doesn't even make the list. How can that be?

I am not going to be calling B.1.351 'Focanuba' any time soon... [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-04-05 15:01:01] [Eddie Holmes] Shit. I didn't even read it. The last draft I saw never had this stuff in. Is this a joke? [2021-04-05 15:06:44] [Eddie Holmes] Who devised this? Did Oli agree? [2021-04-05 15:11:12] [Andrew Rambaut] This is Jens Kuhn's handywork I think. [2021-04-05 15:12:51] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2021-04-05 15:12:51] Eddie, man, go focanuba yourself. But, please, don't go foc a nuba. [2021-04-05 15:14:30] [Robert Garry]
