The SARS-CoV-2 genome has not been validated! While many people claim, that it has allegedly been verified millions of times through short-read alignment, this method cannot mathematically prove the existence of the sequence in nature. Aligning a set of reads to a reference sequence could happen by chance, and can thus never serve as proof. Secondly, de novo sequencing of patient samples has been published only around 800 times in GenBank, primarily using the De Bruijn graph (DBG) approach, to my knowledge never by Overlap Layout Consensus Approach (OLC). The DBG method, often implemented through tools like MEGAHIT, generates a variety of potential genome candidates, many or all of which may not exist in nature or may be artificial concatenations. Moreover, this approach has not produced the entire genome sequence from positions 1 to 29,903 in a single contiguous read. Therefore, additional steps are necessary to confirm that the genome candidate derived from the de Bruijn graph method is not an artifact or a random construct. CDC has confirmed, that these verification steps have not been performed, thus the genome remains a hypothetical construct and should be considered unvalidated.
