Eric Walker added Important updates on @jbloom_lab preprint including the email exchange between NCBI and the authors who asked for their data on early Covid-19 cases in Wuhan to be removed from the database. to 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic
Eric Walker added I have posted an updated version of my pre-print describing #SARSCoV2 sequences from the early Wuhan epidemic that were deleted from the Sequence Read Archive. This revision should clarify some key questions people asked about the original version: https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.449051v2 (1/n) to 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic
Eric Walker added I am getting lots of questions if my pre-print about some #SARSCoV2 sequences that were removed from Sequence Read Archive tell us anything about lab accident versus natural zoonosis. I posted summary of pre-print below, but did not directly address this point explicitly (1/n) to 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic
Eric Walker added “The practical consequence of removing the sequences.. is that no one knew they existed prior to now, and they were not in the databases used.. for the joint WHO-China report” - @jbloom_lab Thanks @alisonannyoung for this piece. Trophy to 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic
Eric Walker added In a new study, I identify and recover a deleted set of #SARSCoV2 sequences that provide additional information about viruses from the early Wuhan outbreak: https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.449051v1 (1/n) to 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic
Eric Walker added a number of links to Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, and added Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic to Characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus relevant to the determination of its origin, Dates of the earliest cases of Covid-19 infection and The Wuhan wet market and the origin of SARS-CoV-2
Eric Walker added 2021-06 Animal sales from Wuhan wet markets immediately prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic and a number of links to The Wuhan wet market and the origin of SARS-CoV-2, and added The Wuhan wet market and the origin of SARS-CoV-2 to Wuhan and the origin of SARS-CoV-2
Eric Walker added a number of topics and a number of links to Characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus relevant to the determination of its origin, and added Characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus relevant to the determination of its origin to Origin of SARS-CoV-2
Eric Walker added 2020-02 A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin, 2021-06 Recovery of deleted deep sequencing data sheds more light on the early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 epidemic and 2019-09 Detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Italy and a number of links to Dates of the earliest cases of Covid-19 infection, and added Dates of the earliest cases of Covid-19 infection to Origin of SARS-CoV-2
