Genetic Structure of SARS-COV-2
The genetic structure of SARS-CoV-2 is consistent with both natural or laboratory origin: Response to Tyshkovskiy and Panchin (10.1002/bies.202000325)https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bies.202100137 By Yuri Deigin and Rossana Segreto,
An appeal for an open scientific debate about the proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2
SARS-CoV-2′s claimed natural origin is undermined by issues with genome sequences of its relative strains
Coronavirus sequences RaTG13, MP789 and RmYN02 raise multiple questions to be critically addressed by the scientific community

Unexpected novel Merbecovirus discoveries in agricultural sequencing datasets from Wuhan, China
In this study we document the unexpected discovery of multiple coronaviruses and a BSL-3 pathogen in agricultural cotton and rice sequencing datasets. In particular, we have identified a novel HKU5-related Merbecovirus in a cotton dataset sequenced by the Huazhong Agricultural University in 2017. We have also found an infectious clone sequence containing a novel HKU4-relatedContinue reading “Unexpected novel Merbecovirus discoveries in agricultural sequencing datasets from Wuhan, China”
