Yes, it's an interesting video isn't it. I've always been sure that there are more people working on XMRV than we are aware of, and more varied research than we are aware of. It takes years to move good science forwards. The zero/zero studies were published in weeks or months. The existing XMRV researchers are working away quietly, making sure that they have a full grasp of the subject before going public. For example, Lo hasn't been sitting around doing nothing for the past few months - he's been expanding his understanding of the subject. Alter and Lo are actively searching for viral integration into human DNA, but that's just one of the things they are doing. They are probably also trying to establish exactly what virus they have discovered, and they are probably also searching for XMRV in their samples.
Hi Bob,
I thought Lo was rather quiet... how do you know he is doing more work on XMRV? I was afraid he might have moved on or that his research was something he did once. Though I have read they will do more work at least for the BWG.
