The 1378 bp fragment of SARS-CoV-2 spike gene (claimed by James Lyons-Weiler to be unique in SARS-CoV-2 and similar to some sequence in pShuttle-SN) is aligned with sequences from natural sources. Wuhan-1/1378bp, the SARS-CoV-2 spike gene fragment (1378 bp) claimed by James Lyons-Weiler; RaTG13_bat and RsSHC014_bat, bat coronavirus sequences; SARS_Tor2, SARS-CoV spike gene sequence. (Note: Alignment of the 1378 bp fragment of SARS-CoV-2 spike gene to the sequence in pShuttle-SN is shown in Supplementary Figure 2).
