武汉病毒的关键基因片段不像自然进化的产物

BOTTOMLINE: 1) Seafood market not the source. 2) This RNA #coronavirus mutates really fast. 3) RNA has unusual middle segment never seen before in any coronavirus. 4) Not from recent mixing. 5) That mystery middle segment encodes protein responsible for entry into host cells.

10. TO BE CLEAR: I am absolutely not saying it’s bioengineering, nor am I supporting any conspiracy theories with no evidence. I’m simply saying scientists need to do more research + get more data. And finding the origin of the virus is an important research priority. Goodnight

哈佛的Eric Ding博士在推特点评在Lancet的那篇论文：武汉病毒并非从华南海鲜市场发源；这种病毒变异非常快；而且它的基因顺序包括从未在任何冠状病毒中出现的中间段，这不能用近期的基因混合解释；这一中间段正好编码了负责入侵宿主细胞的蛋白质。博士同时声明：自己并没有断言武汉病毒是生物工程的产品，也没有支持没有证据的阴谋论。
