The pair noted that the double CGG sequence has never been found naturally among the entire group of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.īut, in what Quay and Muller called a “damning fact,” it was found in CoV-2. “An additional advantage of the double CGG sequence compared with the other 35 possible choices: It creates a useful beacon that permits the scientists to track the insertion in the laboratory.” An aerial view shows the P4 laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan in China’s central Hubei province. “That’s because it is readily available and convenient, and scientists have a great deal of experience inserting it,” they wrote.
“The insertion sequence of choice is the double CGG,” wrote Quay, the founder of Atossa Therapeutics, and Muller, a former top scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who now teaches physics at the University of California’s Berkeley campus. Quay and Muller stated the double CGG sequence has never been found naturally among the entire group of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2. Of the 36 possible genome pairings that can produce two arginine amino acids in a row - which results in boosting a virus’ lethality - the one most commonly used in gain-of-function research is CGG-CGG, or double CGG, wrote Quay and Muller. The first relates to the nature of gain-of-function research, in which microbiologists tweak a virus’ genome to alter its properties, such as making it more transmissible or more lethal. Steven Quay and Richard Muller pointed to two key pieces of evidence to support the claim, which has increasingly gained steam after long being derided as little more than speculation. Writing in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, Dr. “Damning” science strongly suggests that COVID-19 is a man-made monster, optimized in a lab for maximum infectivity before hitting the outside to catastrophic effect, two experts said Sunday. ‘Don’t Test, Don’t Tell’: Senate Dems skipping COVID testing to push spending bill vote
