SARS-CoV-2′s claimed natural origin is undermined by issues with genome sequences of its relative strains Coronavirus sequences RaTG13, MP789 and RmYN02 raise multiple questions to be critically addressed by the scientific community

Yuri Deigin et al.

Summary: RaTG13, MP789, and RmYN02 are strains closest to SARS-CoV-2, but a closer examination reveals issues such as a 6-nucleotide deletion in RmYN02 instead of claimed insertion and unexpected reads in metagenomic datasets. The unique 12-nucleotide insertion in SARS-CoV-2 suggests careful reevaluation of sequencing records and assembly methods for these strains.
