Does Sequencing Breakthrough reduce the purple city cards needed in the Mutation challenges?

The designer answered this in 2013 and 2016, and the Event's fine points say the same.

No. You still need the required City cards with purple cubes: one in the Mutation challenge, or two in Worldwide Panic; the Event just reduces the other cards. The same goes for the Scientist's and Field Operative's reductions: the reduced card can't be one of the required purple cities.
