I found it on HN. I posted the wrong article at first. I’m reserving judgement atm. I want to hear from more voices that can give statistical bases, and I want to do some sequence comparisons myself. Viruses mutate, but that doesn’t mean this is easily explained away. The HIV genome is one of the most commonly used in genetic manufacture, and it’s not one commonly found in the wild.
