I've been using a kmer approach, just a few lines in Python, and it's interesting comparing coronavirus to many different genomes. The neat thing about kmers is that it is alignment free, so can find similarities between genomes even if genes have been moved around. Interestingly, it finds HIV is quite close to cov compared to a random sampling of refseq viruses. Maybe there is credence to that Indian paper after all.
