Is SARS-CoV-2 a variant of SARS-CoV-1 or is it a strain or new species?

Yes, great, thanks. I found the original.
Wuhan seafood market pneumonia virus isolate Wuhan-Hu-1, complete genome
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_045512.1    (13-JAN-2020)

I have 2 more questions: 
1) You say "can look at the history and see where it was originally posted."
Do you mean the seafood link above or the original Chinese post?
2) Where/how can I find the link for the new UK variant?

I read that on January 10, 2020,  after isolating the virus from patients, Chinese scientists posted its genetic sequence online .

But it was not listed on NCBI until 18-JUL-2020.

Why did it take so long to post in NCBI?
Where did the Chinese originally post it?

Also, is this the correct forum to post this kind of question?

If I'm not mistaken the only time homologous pairs of chromosomes need to find each other is during gamete formation in preparation for crossover recombination.
How do they find each other?
