over a dozen people ran the Genome on Blast and
the HIV GP-120 gene is definitely there.
Quoting: Jake Such comical bullshit. You are still trying to push that crap? Show us your proof if it was not withdrawn by the authors.
February 3rd:
Quick retraction of a faulty coronavirus paper was a good moment for scienceAs fears of the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV continued to spread last Friday, an inflammatory new paper appeared on bioRxiv, a preprint server, where scientists post work that hasn’t been vetted.
Titled “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag,” the paper claimed to find similarities between the new coronavirus and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The use of the word “uncanny” in the title, together with “unlikely to be fortuitous” in the abstract, led some to think that the authors were suggesting the virus had somehow been engineered by humans.
The paper, from academic institutions in New Delhi, India, was critical and alarming, if true. Except that it wasn’t.
The paper was almost immediately withdrawn by the authors, but not before plenty of handwringing from researchers who complained that the appearance of such shoddy work on a preprint server without vetting by peer reviewers is precisely why the hoary old model of science publishing is better at keeping junk science out of the literature.
