Doctor of Biological Sciences, professor of the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University, virologist Ancha Baranova said that the virus can be developed in vitro to obtain its various mutations.
As she told “Lente.ru”, such experiments could be carried out, among other things, in order to invent a vaccine that can “overtake” the virus.
“It's called a feature acquisition experiment,” she said.
According to her, some experts believe such experiments are the reason for the appearance of COVID-19.
Previously, a virologist, molecular biologist, leading researcher at the N.N. A.N. Belozersky Moscow State University Lomonosov Maxim Skulachev spoke about the factors affecting the cost of research on COVID-19.
