- zoomablemind 7y agoIndeed, not the original title. Speculatively stated like a click-bait.
- dang 7y agoWe've changed the title to the original now, as the site guidelines ask: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) (Submitted title was "Genomic analysis suggests seafood market was not SARS-CoV-2 source". )
- 1_over_n 7y agoSorry, i posted the link and the full title was too long to fit in the field. I did editorialize it as the intention was to draw attention to the claim. Noted for future posts. Edited to include claim in journal below: "This suggests that the source of the coronavirus in the Hua Nan market was imported from elsewhere"
- 1_over_n 7y agoOf all the possible HN users out there, stating there is no way of assessing the credibility of this research is quite a big statement. The point of journal articles is that the methods and data can be evaluated. Hopefully, someone with experience in this technique can give their position on this research and given it's a hot topic, I'm sure it won't be long until the broader scientific community has some input.
