The first analysis of the Mar-2023-released China CDC raw sequencing data (see S-21 - China CDC raw metagenomic sequencing data release — Huanan market samples (NGDC GSA - NCBI BioProject)), posted directly to Zenodo (not a formal preprint server) within days of the authors gaining access, given the news attention already building around the GISAID upload. Reports that mitochondrial DNA from raccoon dogs and other SARS-CoV-2-susceptible species is significantly enriched in the same environmental samples that test SARS-CoV-2-positive, concentrated in one stall. This rapid report was superseded by S-31 - Crits-Christoph et al. — Genetic tracing of market wildlife and viruses at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic (bioRxiv preprint) and then S-35 - Crits-Christoph et al. — Genetic tracing of market wildlife and viruses at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic (Cell) by the same, overlapping author list. relevance_note: first public reanalysis establishing the raccoon-dog/susceptible-wildlife co-location claim that anchors the zoonosis case. superseded_by: “S-35 - Crits-Christoph et al. — Genetic tracing of market wildlife and viruses at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic (Cell)”
