This paper is only about engineering a virus using a common backbone virus as a starting point. That does not mean the virus could not be derived within a lab

This paper is only about engineering a virus using a common backbone virus as a starting point.
That does not mean the virus could not be derived within a lab using recombination methods in other animals and sourcing the starting novel virus from bats. In fact, this type of research was the exact research being done at the Wuhan Virology lab.
- tanilama 6y ago> the exact research being done at the Wuhan Virology lab I would like to see the exact research they tried to do there. Navigating through their published research list, I couldn't locate any, but I am not an expert: http://www.whiov.cas.cn/kycg_105248/lwqk/index.html http://www.whiov.cas.cn/kycg_105248/lwqk/index.html
