Une nouvelle étude révèle que le coronavirus pourrait avoir des liens non fortuits avec le VIH
16. UPDATE ON 🦠 GENOME 🧬: a very intriguing new paper investigating the aforementioned mystery middle segment w/ “S” spike protein: likely origin from HIV. “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag” from https://t.co/QAX3usr7vw pic.twitter.com/WeVA948xin

17. ...WHOA- the authors said the finding was “Unexpectedly” related to genes from HIV virus. Notably there were 4 gene insertions (see figure in above post #16). And so, which HIV gene proteins were found in the new #coronarvirus? Gag protein and Gp120- key HIV proteins... pic.twitter.com/epN66WcObj

L'étude Bioxrv conclut en affirmant que «la découverte de 4 inserts uniques dans le 2019-nCoV, qui ont tous une identité / similitude avec les résidus d'acides aminés dans les principales protéines structurelles du VIH-1, ne serait probablement pas de nature fortuite.
22. The authors dunked this final conclusion: “This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019- nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous”. Wow, they sure just went straight there! 😱 What a bold paper... I don’t know what to say 🤷🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/KWcDdknMO4

Oh my god. Indian scientists have just found HIV (AIDS) virus-like insertions in the 2019-nCov virus that are not found in any other coronavirus. They hint at the possibility that this Chinese virus was designed ["not fortuitous']. Scary if true. https://t.co/h6xPX1gYvj pic.twitter.com/kCpd1I00uE— Anand Ranganathan (@ARanganathan72) January 31, 2020
L'étude n'a pas encore été révisée par des pairs et, à ce jour, il s'agit du seul document de ce type à relier le coronavirus au VIH.
