Thanks to Gary R. Whittaker at Cornell, who has done some of the very best work on coronavirus spike processing over the years, for pointing out that there is an error in the FIPV79 S2’ sequence - which should be as below:
lgglkdlpshnskrkygsaiedllf.
This error doesn’t affect the conclusions. Rather, it demonstrates an extra indel and additional variability near the S2’ junction.
We’ll correct this in a future publication.
Thank you Gary!
