>Coronavirus genomes for our phylogeny were obtained by using rentrez (Winter 2017). Spike gene ORFs were obtained by searching the NCBI Gene database for all Coronaviridae S-genes ORFs. Corresponding full genomes were pulled from the NCBI Genome database. An additional set of genomes was collected manually to ensure a balanced coverage of coronaviruses as important close relatives of SARS-CoV-2 were missing from our rentrez fetch. S-genes were extracted from the full genomes using the corresponding ORFs. Four of the Spike gene ORFs didn’t have corresponding genomes and were thus dropped. Four S-gene ORFs appear to be erroneous with nearly zero alignment with other CoVs, and were thus dropped, resulting in 72 Spike genes and corresponding full genomes for analysis. The resulting genomes, Spike gene sequences, and our alignment are all available on our Github repository. They looked at spike protein genetics. The same spike protein sequence that was released via CCP. The same spike protein Indian researchers found 4 non-coincidental HIV inserts in. The same spike protein that ends with a 33 A amino acid chain. They compared this to known CoV viruses and still found further evidence of lab manipulation.
