> How are you calculating those odds?
I truly have no idea what the answer is, but as someone well versed in economics, econometrics,and statistics, to me the relevant odds are not about independent coin tosses etc. I would like to know P(A|B) where:
A: sequence of 30 nucleotides appears in a virus identified in nature
B: sequence appears in a patent application that predates discovery in nature
Seems to me that would involve a whole bunch of arithmetic, but that ought to be calculable using this database.
