[2021-06-11 16:20:57] [Robert Garry] worth doing a closer look - HKU5 CAIPPTTSTRFRRATSGVSDV has a maximum FCS and its on the same branch as MERS CALPDTPSTLTPRSVRSVPGEM. HKU4 also there cavppvstfrs ysasqfqlav, but looking a lot like RmYN02 - so I guess we need asshat Yuri to help with the alignment. [2021-06-11 16:21:31] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-06-11 16:21:31] https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0236971 this new from PREDICT2 - partial sequences but the tree is interesting [2021-06-11 17:28:57] [Kristian Andersen] I gotta say - the video with Metzl on YouTube is the only example of the comments being better than the reporting. Unlike a lab leak causing a pandemic, that truly may be a first. [2021-06-11 17:36:25] [Eddie Holmes] Just watched it - what he says about our paper is pure slander. [2021-06-11 18:02:09] [Robert Garry] I'm kinda ready to go all in on this - crap and bullshit from Mr. Metzl. [2021-06-11 18:02:47] [Robert Garry] I don't care how many books he wants to sell - this literally is gonna get somebody killed. [2021-06-11 18:10:39] [Eddie Holmes] I'll pass this to the Uni lawyers. [2021-06-11 18:11:37] [Eddie Holmes] Will be interesting to see if the local media pick up on this. [2021-06-11 18:35:51] [Robert Garry] Ditto - me too - Cease and desist letter at the least. [2021-06-11 18:40:25] [Eddie Holmes] Particularly as we don't say 'conspiracy theory' at all [2021-06-12 01:12:49] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-06-11 16:21:31] @Robert Garry How are they allowed to show a cladogram? Reviewers - please? [2021-06-12 15:47:29] [Eddie Holmes] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9680085/British-head-science-funding-body-Wellcome-Trust-accused-chilli ng-bid-stifle-debate.html
