Coronavirus contains “HIV Insertions”

Over the past few days, the mainstream press has vigorously pushed back against a theory about the origins of the coronavirus that has now infected as many as 70,000+ people in Wuhan alone (depending on whom you believe). The theory is that China obtained the coronavirus via a Canadian research program, and started molding it into a bioweapon at the Institute of Virology in Wuhan. Politifact pointed the finger at Zero Hedge, in particular, though the story was widely shared across independent-leaning media.

The theory is that the virus, which was developed by infectious disease experts to function as a bio-weapon, originated in the Wuhan-based lab of Dr. Peng Zhou, China's preeminent researcher of bat immune systems, specifically in how their immune systems adapt to the presence of viruses like coronavirus and other destructive viruses. Somehow, the virus escaped from the lab, and the Hunan fish market where the virus supposedly originated is merely a ruse.

Now, a respected epidemiologist who recently caught flack for claiming in a twitter threat that the virus appeared to be much more contagious than initially believed is pointing out irregularities in the virus's genome that suggests it might have been genetically engineered for the purposes of a weapon, and not just any weapon but the deadliest one of all.

In "Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag", Indian researchers are baffled by segments of the virus's RNA that have no relation to other coronaviruses like SARS, and instead, appear to be closer to HIV. The virus even responds to treatment by HIV medications.

For those pressed for time, here are the key findings from the paper, which first focuses on the unique nature of 2019-nCoV, and then observe four amino acid sequences in the Wuhan Coronavirus which are homologous to amino acid sequences in HIV1:

Our phylogentic tree of full-length coronaviruses suggests that 2019-nCoV is closely related to SARS CoV [Fig1].

In addition, other recent studies have linked the 2019-nCoV to SARS CoV. We therefore compared the spike glycoprotein sequences of the 2019-nCoV to that of the SARS CoV (NCBI Accession number: AY390556.1). On careful examination of the sequence alignment we found that the 2019- nCoV spike glycoprotein contains 4 insertions [Fig.2]. To further investigate if these inserts are present in any other corona virus, we performed a multiple sequence alignment of the spike glycoprotein amino acid sequences of all available coronaviruses (n=55) [refer Table S.File1] in NCBI refseq (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) this includes one sequence of 2019-nCoV[Fig.S1]. We found that these 4 insertions [inserts 1, 2, 3 and 4] are unique to 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses analyzed. Another group from China had documented three insertions comparing fewer spike glycoprotein sequences of coronaviruses . Another group from China had documented three insertions comparing fewer spike glycoprotein sequences of coronaviruses (Zhou et al., 2020).

We then translated the aligned genome and found that these inserts are present in all Wuhan 2019-nCoV viruses except the 2019-nCoV virus of Bat as a host [Fig.S4]. Intrigued by the 4 highly conserved inserts unique to 2019-nCoV we wanted to understand their origin. For this purpose, we used the 2019-nCoV local alignment with each insert as query against all virus genomes and considered hits with 100% sequence coverage. Surprisingly, each of the four inserts aligned with short segments of the Human immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) proteins. The amino acid positions of the inserts in 2019-nCoV and the corresponding residues in HIV-1 gp120 and HIV-1 Gag are shown in Table 1.

The first 3 inserts (insert 1,2 and 3) aligned to short segments of amino acid residues in HIV-1 gp120. The insert 4 aligned to HIV-1 Gag. The insert 1 (6 amino acid residues) and insert 2 (6 amino acid residues) in the spike glycoprotein of 2019-nCoV are 100% identical to the residues mapped to HIV-1 gp120. The insert 3 (12 amino acid residues) in 2019- nCoV maps to HIV-1 gp120 with gaps [see Table 1]. The insert 4 (8 amino acid residues) maps to HIV-1 Gag with gaps.

Why do the authors think the virus may be man-made? Because when looking at the above insertions which are not present in any of the closest coronavirus families, "it is quite unlikely for a virus to have acquired such unique insertions naturally in a short duration of time." Instead, they can be found in cell identification and membrane binding proteins located in the HIV genome.

Since the S protein of 2019-nCoV shares closest ancestry with SARS GZ02, the sequence coding for spike proteins of these two viruses were compared using MultiAlin software. We found four new insertions in the protein of 2019-nCoV- “GTNGTKR” (IS1), “HKNNKS” (IS2), “GDSSSG” (IS3) and “QTNSPRRA” (IS4) (Figure 2). To our surprise, these sequence insertions were not only absent in S protein of SARS but were also not observed in any other member of the Coronaviridae family (Supplementary figure). This is startling as it is quite unlikely for a virus to have acquired such unique insertions naturally in a short duration of time.

The insertions were observed to be present in all the genomic sequences of 2019-nCoV virus available from the recent clinical isolates. To know the source of these insertions in 2019-nCoV a local alignment was done with BLASTp using these insertions as query with all virus genome. Unexpectedly, all the insertions got aligned with Human immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1). Further analysis revealed that aligned sequences of HIV-1 with 2019-nCoV were derived from surface glycoprotein gp120 (amino acid sequence positions: 404-409, 462-467, 136-150) and from Gag protein (366-384 amino acid) (Table 1). Gag protein of HIV is involved in host membrane binding, packaging of the virus and for the formation of virus-like particles. Gp120 plays crucial role in recognizing the host cell by binding to the primary receptor CD4.This binding induces structural rearrangements in GP120, creating a high affinity binding site for a chemokine co-receptor like CXCR4 and/or CCR5.

A good recap of the findings was provided by Dr. Feigl-Ding, who started his explanatory thread by pointing out that the transmission rate outside China has surpassed the rate inside China.

Pear  Lab Created Diamond purchase from iheartdiamonds

Which got going as something new and broadly over looked by serious purchasers has surprised the market.  Todays environment of vulnerability has just driven these Dimond options into considerably more light.

While the Lab Created Diamond battled at first because of a large number of the Diamond power houses all over the planet declining to acknowledge them as even a real elective they have now had the option to extend with numerous purchasers looking through them out as a favored choice.

We realize that the regular Diamond and Diamond deals overall have fallen particularly over the most recent a year with the appearance of Covid 19. What was once a fairly solid execution though little drops in deals of 10 to 15 percent every year on normal Diamond deals, we've seen late measurements have shown this number as high as 35%.

While Lab Created Diamonds are for all intents and purposes the equivalent synthetically and they have similar actual properties meaning they appear to be identical… is anyone shocked purchasers are settling on the elective that can save them 40 to 60 percent the expense of a normally mined twin.

In the event that this wasn't sufficient, add to the reality these Diamonds are 100% morally obtained and struggle free. While there has been a cycle set up for at some point to stop the exchange of blood Diamonds, Lab Diamonds give these purchasers all out inner serenity as they are become not mined.

Another enormous advantage that numerous purchasers appreciate while considering Lab Created Diamonds is that they are developed and not mined, meaning their ecological impression contrasted and normally mined Diamonds is essentially nothing. Taking into account the effect mining has in such countless regions of the planet it's a welcome other option and a gigantic advantage to have Diamonds that are synthetically and truly the equivalent without the drawn out influence.

In the same way as other urban communities all over the planet Lab made Diamonds in Sydney have seen a huge expansion in interest. The impacts of Covid 19 keep on unleashing devastation on the world with local people battling like never before and keeping in mind that they actually need to celebrate and give something that has such a lot of importance, needs have somewhat moved.

The expense can have a colossal effect particularly while considering the typical 1ct Round Solitaire Engagement Ring can cost between $8000 - $12000 for a characteristic GIA confirmed Diamond. With a Lab Grown Diamond, purchasers have the choice of some of the time updating on the size or variety and lucidity at a similar cost or frequently better. The round Diamond is the most costly shape all the more so on account of the unpleasant yield it utilizes while accomplishing the round shape, so while the Lab Created Diamond sets aside cash for this shape

specifically the other famous shapes including the Pear Lab Created Diamond and the Oval Lab Created Diamond are a surprisingly better purchase for youthful couples hoping to buy another option.

Best Quality Diamond Engagement Rings Sydney

Ever since 1949, thanks to Marilyn Monroe, Diamonds have been known as a girl’s best friend and they’ve been the first choice for Engagement Rings for even longer. However, more and more young couples have been searching for Diamond alternatives because they are after gems that are more environmentally conscious and more ethically choice.

If you are one of those couples who have searching for more environmentally conscious Diamond Engagement Rings, then you’ve probably come across a Lab Created Diamond or a Lab Grown Diamond. Both stones have come leaps and bounds in recent years due to improved cutting technologies and better manufacturing. They are both essentially Diamonds. They are formed the same way – under intense pressure consisting of the same carbon atoms and are also engineered into the same characteristic diamond crystal structure.

These two gorgeous diamond alternatives let manufacturers press control, alt, delete on approximately a few billion years or so, and they’re still able to achieve the exact same look and feel as the natural Diamond. They are both a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness – the same as a natural Diamond – and, they have the same dispersion of light which means they exhibit the exact same dramatic sparkle and shine.

Both the Lab Created Diamond and Lab Grown Diamond are, like the name suggests, created in a lab which means that they are grown and not mined, making them 100% ethically sourced. When you look back in history and take into account the huge social impact as well as environmental footprint that mining has had on the earth, a Lab Created Diamond or Lab Grown Diamond are such ethical choices and often the only choices for conscientious couples.

As time passes, more couples around the world are purchasing Lab Created or Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings for their conflict free origins and eco-friendly production but the price is also very eye catching. Whether you are searching for a Diamond alternative in Sydney or across the world, the price of these gems compared to natural Diamonds are significantly better. They are both significantly less of a price tag than natural Diamonds of the same grades – which means we often see buyers saving sometimes up to 70% of the cost. When you consider the same approximate price, buyers may be able to get a larger and higher grade of Diamond, but the choice often comes down to budget and personal taste. However, remember to factor in customs, shipping and GST costs - sometimes purchasing locally can end up costing a lot less than importing. The smaller price point of the Diamond Alternatives mean that some couples can afford to upgrade the setting or choose a set of bands to compliment their Engagement Ring.
