@nature cc reviewer @c_drosten, this article must be corrected to acknowledge that SADSr-CoV 3755 was from the same mine of Mojiang (Yunnan) as RaTG13. Any reader of the paper thinks it came from Guangdong, and that is not true nature.com/articles/s4158…
As you see, its ID is in the middle of the IDs of the 1st trip of WIV to the mine (Ge et al, 2016).
Obviously, disclosing its full sequence is also a must, not only the N. Image
Wang et al. (2019) stated it was from Yunnan in their Fig 1.
Ra7347 most probably from the mine too. And 140351 too (they messed samples of May-14)
With so many errors, lack of info, cheatings and covers, the phylogenetic trees are totally useless! Shame

@nature please correct or retract.

[Thread] Pangolin CoV... or Bat CoV in pangolins samples?
TLDR: A researcher of the team that sequenced the pangolins samples had taken samples in the mine of RaTG13 and in the place where RmYN02 was collected, also catched bats in Yunnan. Probably contaminated pangolin samples
@Daoyu15 was the first to note that the raw sequence reads of the pangolins “contained unexpected reads and was in serious risk of contamination” in early June 2020. But now we can explain how it was possible to happen this in Guangdong
zenodo.org/record/4450267…
Jin-Ping Chen, the corresponding author of the first paper of the pangolins, and LiBiao Zhang, who has been sampling the mine of RaTG13 and the place in Mengla where RmYN02 was collected, are close colleagues in GIABR & GIZ

Of course, studying the spike of a new exotic SARS is not interesting for someone interested in "SARS-CoV receptor binding".
WHO said COI?

What we know about the samples and the visits to the mineshaft of TG?
TLDR: 7 trips: 4 already known (Ge et al., 2016), plus other 3 with massive sampling until 2015, including 7896-clade. All already in Latinne et al. (2020)

What was the point of uploading a few samples into Genbank on 31-Dec-19, in the middle of a big crisis? Looks like they were in a hurry:
- "direct submission" instead of refering to Li et al. (2020)
- wrong collection dates

They wanted to study a wide range of alphas and betas. Nice chance to widen the study with other strains without saying it.
Look at the dates of the metatags of Excel files with sup. material

No descartaría que el #COVIDー19 se originara en un laboratorio, pero no "creado en laboratorio", sino por zoonosis normal, accidental (podría haber sido en un mercado). Sería un gran zasca a los científicos que juegan a Dios, con consecuencias nefastas
Es muy pretencioso afirmar que ha sido creado por el hombre. Si en la Historia han existido unos 10^29 animales (individuos) y si en cada uno ha habido billones (o más) de iteraciones de virus, no tenemos capacidad de computación que iguale a eso
Una persona malintencionada lo peor que podría hacer es: 1. rescatar virus antiguos para los que ya no estemos inmunizados, o 2. favorecer el proceso de zoonosis. Y no es poco, ojo
