Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Was SARS-CoV-2 deliberately genetically engineered?

Challenges

A peer-reviewed reanalysis found that the relevant restriction-site patterns are diverse among coronaviruses and concluded that the proposed endonuclease fingerprint is not diagnostic of synthetic origin.

Challenges a specific engineering argument rather than proving every conceivable manipulation scenario impossible.
