“Abstract: … This article shows how 16 fragments (Env Pol and Integrase genes) from different strains, both diversified and very recent, of the HIV1, HIV2 and SIV retroviruses have high percentage of homology into parts of the genome of COVID_19. Moreover each of these elements is made of 18 or more nucleotides and therefore may have a function. They are called Exogenous Informative Elements (EIE)…
Here are the two main facts which contribute to our hypothesis of a partially synthetic genome: …
In the comparative analysis of both SPIKES genes of COVID_19 and Bat RaTG13 we note two abnormal facts:
1) the insertion of 4 contiguous PRRA amino acids in the middle of SPIKE (we show that this site was already an optimal cleavage site BEFORE this insertion).
2) an abnormal distribution of synonymous codons in the second half of SPIKE.
Finally we show the insertion in this 1770 bases SPIKE region of a significant pair of EIEs from Plasmodium Yoelii and of apossible HIV1 EIE with a crucial Spike mutation.”
