Engineering SARS-CoV-2 using a reverse genetic system

This page documents how this source is reused across Claim by Claim. A source can support, challenge, qualify or contextualize different claims; appearing here does not imply endorsement of every linked proposition.

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?

Supports

Published reverse-genetics systems demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 genomes can be deliberately assembled and manipulated in the laboratory.

This establishes technical capability only; it does not establish pre-outbreak engineering.
