It's not only the numbers. 1 out of 282 with the one being Moderna is much more significant. The null hypothesis is important. It's not just the odds reporting.

Less likely it is someone that threatened you last night. Same odds, different situations.
- fastaguy88 5y agoIt is not clear to me why it is much more significant (or how much more). There is confirmation bias here. There would be no "report" if Moderna had not been associated with the sequence. So how many other, perhaps longer, matches were there to other patented sequences with no connection to Moderna? If there were hundreds (which there probably were), it is much less clear what the significance of one of them being in a Moderna patent is, particularly if Moderna was trying to make an HIV vaccine, and the sequence is in HIV (which it is).
