Questions that come to mind about the true genetic origin of the novel coronavirus and its direct source. As it is likely that these questions will be answered through aspects of the relationship between science and intelligence, the results of which will converge together in the end to some evidence. Materials and methods: The 29 complete coronavirus and HIV genomes were collected from various countries at random and conducted various bioinformatics instruments in order to find connections between viral sequences from various sources. Results: The closest similarity between the SARS-CoV-2 genomes approximately (99.98%). The small difference between genome sequences is considered as weak mutations occur even at the present time. This study revealed that the novel coronavirus had a structure identical to the HIV virus which it reached approximately 46.33%. Conclusions: It is not possible for the SARS-CoV-2 to be related to HIV through mutation, manipulation, or laboratory artificial. Laboratory mutation occurred in the Wuhan lab and led to the outbreak of the epidemic, deliberately or accidentally, and this will be determined later.

Abstract


Questions that come to mind about the true genetic origin of the novel coronavirus and its direct source. As it is likely that these questions will be answered through aspects of the relationship between science and intelligence, the results of which will converge together in the end to some evidence. Materials and methods: The 29 complete coronavirus and HIV genomes were collected from various countries at random and conducted various bioinformatics instruments in order to find connections between viral sequences from various sources. Results: The closest similarity between the SARS-CoV-2 genomes approximately (99.98%). The small difference between genome sequences is considered as weak mutations occur even at the present time. This study revealed that the novel coronavirus had a structure identical to the HIV virus which it reached approximately 46.33%. Conclusions: It is not possible for the SARS-CoV-2 to be related to HIV through mutation, manipulation, or laboratory artificial. Laboratory mutation occurred in the Wuhan lab and led to the outbreak of the epidemic, deliberately or accidentally, and this will be determined later.
