p 8-11, What are the implications of recombinant MERS CoV in camels for estimation of evolutionary rates and TMRCAs?

trvrb commented 6 years ago

I would definitely avoid the use of "data not shown". @evogytis, I'll let you be the final arbiter here, but I would lean to including "raw" clock estimates (ala #40). If nothing else, to allow a clock rate citation hook. However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding a good point in the manuscript to slot the clock figure in. I'm okay either way, but I would drop the sentence

even though it appears to fall firmly within the expected range for RNA viruses (data not shown).

if you opt to not include the clock rate estimate.

trvrb commented 6 years ago

I think this works well. Thanks for including the estimate.
