| T18 |
0-168 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Lack of the definite origin of 2019-nCoV has led to speculation that 2019-nCoV might be derived from genetic manipulation or even for the purpose of use as a bioweapon. |
| T19 |
169-218 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This notion has been fully debunked in the media. |
| T20 |
219-437 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A recent informally presented report, however, showed that 2019-nCoV had four insertions in the spike glycoprotein gene that is critical for the virus to enter the target cells when compared to other coronaviruses [8]. |
| T21 |
438-709 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It was claimed that these inserts were either identical or similar to the motifs in the highly variable (V) regions (V1, V4 and V5) in the envelope glycoprotein or in the Gag protein of some unique HIV-1 strains from three different countries (Thailand, Kenya and India). |
| T22 |
710-961 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Together with the structure modelling analysis, the authors speculated that these motif insertions sharing similarity with HIV-1 proteins could provide an enhanced affinity towards host cell receptors and increase the range of host cells of 2019-nCoV. |
| T23 |
962-1063 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This study implies that 2019-nCoV might be generated by gaining gene fragments from the HIV-1 genome. |
