Position of SARS-CoV-2_64_LEFT does not yield sequence for SARS-CoV-2_64_LEFT #17

Dear Sir or Madam,

I noticed that in the Bed file(s), primer positions of SARS-CoV-2_64_LEFT is not correct. It is defined by 19183 to 19222, however, correct is 19183 to 19208 (alternatively length and sequence is incorrect)

Cheers, Pascal

This is intentional to filter out the following primer dimerisation product described here: https://virological.org/t/erroneous-mutations-associated-with-64-l-60-r-primer-dimer-in-artic-4-4-1/789
