[Kristian Andersen] I definitely think some quotes to Jon Cohen would be very very helpful - people need to see these as, well, people. [2021-06-24 09:41:05] [Kristian Andersen] Just had another call with NIH folks and they're really struggling with all the different evidence out there. Should we consider sharing our draft with them at this stage or should we wait? [2021-06-24 09:44:51] [Andrew Rambaut] Shouldn't take long to make a first draft of it. I think it is looking pretty good. Need to check it for any lose-ends or chinks that can be exploited to cast doubt. [2021-06-24 09:45:42] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, I'm going to go through this over the weekend - bloody study section is killing me, but it's DONE tomorrow. [2021-06-24 11:41:28] [Robert Garry] Trying to make a figure to show the FCS - out-of-frame insertion etc. Other stuff [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-06-24 13:32:15] [Robert Garry] Then I got hung up trying to figure out which is the 12 base insert TCCTCGGCGGGC or CTCCTCGGCGGG [2021-06-24 13:38:55] [Robert Garry] Might have to look at some other bat covs... [2021-06-24 13:39:17] [Robert Garry] Nucleic acids - I'm not sure how you guys cope... [2021-06-24 17:11:28] [Eddie Holmes] I'm going to try and take another look at the paper over the weekend. Just swamped at the moment. [2021-06-25 15:05:18] [Andrew Rambaut] Hang on - I will check to see if this is one of the same recombinant we discuss in our preprint. [2021-06-25 15:08:16] [Eddie Holmes] Perhaps I should post it and let the public decide [2021-06-25 15:09:48] [Andrew Rambaut] It doesn't cite our recombination in B.1.1.7 paper - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.21258689v1 (which was also on virological for a few months) [2021-06-25 15:10:31] [Eddie Holmes] This paper is saying that B.1.1.7 is itself a recombinant
