From what I understand genomic sequencing is done in a theoretical fashion, filling in the supposed blanks between fragments of DNA/RNA strands using computer extrapolation/interpolation based on algorithms that fit other known “viruses.” Basically it’s like finding a piece of hair, a hoof, and a horn and claiming that you’ve “discovered” a unicorn.
It's a little better than that, but, the fact that you, first, have to break it into thousands of pieces, leaves a lot of room for fuckery. If you really analyze the genomic sequences for SARS COV 2, you will see there is less mutation than any other coronavirus. By like 100x. Its suspicious to say the least.
Ironically, all the links explaining how to sequence a genome are down.
