It's not BS. You did editorialize the title, that's obvious to everyone.
And your title also suggests that the researchers modified the virus, they did not. They used an existing mutation in their experiments.
- greenavocado 1y agoI changed the title. Please unflag.
- Jtsummers 1y ago> Please unflag. No. Your title is still editorialized. EDIT: And to add, from how you've edited your original reply to me I'm disinclined to ever do anything for you, no matter how politely you phrase it.
- greenavocado 1y agoFine, I changed it to the utterly useless original title to satisfy the HN rule of "no editorialization."
- noworriesnate 1y agoExisting as in another lab created that mutation or existing as in that mutation evolved naturally in the wild?

To investigate the genomic characteristics of this clade regarding mammalian adaptation, we studied the replication and transmission of the H5N1 virus in mice.
