Confirmation WPI have full sequences coming out soon. This will end a lot of speculation about what the WPI is really finding. Sentence right at the end of article. What's the bet they won't be contaminants? Coffin and co will need scour their labs for new suspects.
I wonder where they got the money from?

The Waning Con?ict Over XMRV And Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
OTTAWA, CANADALess than a day after a new study dealt what many
consider a lethal blow to the controversial theory that a newly
detected virus, XMRV, is linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS),
proponents and skeptics of the theory squared off in a meeting here.
In one corner was Judy Mikovits, research director at the Whittemore
Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease (WPI) in Reno, Nevada, and
the main champion of the idea that XMRV and its relatives play a role
inCFS. Her opponent, an erstwhile supporter,was heavyweight
retrovirologist John Cof?n of the Tufts University Sackler School of
Graduate Biomedical Sciences in Boston. When Mikovits and Cof?n took
the stage at the meeting, which was organized by IACFS/ME (an
international association devoted to the disease)and attracted 460
researchers and patients, they sat on opposite sides of the lectern.
During their introductions, Cof?n clasped his hands in front of his
mouth, looking like a man in prayer who wished this would all stop.
Neither addressed the other by name, and they avoided eye contact.
Mikovits said she hopes to have full sequences of her new viruses in
a couple of weeks.
