Don’t do that again without warning.
But, I get your point.
you might find this interesting. Maybe you recognize the names.

Identification of key amino acid residues required for horseshoe bat angiotensin-I converting enzyme 2 to function as a receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
Abstract
Angiotensin-I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV). A previous study indicated that ACE2 from a horseshoe bat, the host of a highly related SARS-like coronavirus, could not function as a receptor for SARS-CoV. Here, we demonstrate that a 3 aa change from SHE (aa 40-42) to FYQ was sufficient to convert the bat ACE2 into a fully functional receptor for SARS-CoV. We further demonstrate that an ACE2 molecule from a fruit bat, which contains the FYQ motif, was able to support SARS-CoV infection, indicating a potentially much wider host range for SARS-CoV-related viruses among different bat populations.
Neat, thanks!
Tucker exposed this racist, on his show, the other night.
He said she is under *review*....whatever THAT means, for her very racist tweets.
Has she been fired, yet?

The australia/bat connection is creepy. That’s a focal location for nipah virus.
coronavirus is a pansy virus in comparison.
Linfa Wang is still alive and commenting

“The Hendra virus, the Nipah virus and the Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus were passed to humans through horses, pigs and civets respectively, he said.”
Bats seem to be the deadliest animal on the planet at this point.

There’s a reason they’re treif.
On March 6th, you didn't know...
Using biopython, apparently. :-D
Here is the video of the guy who understands a little more of what has happened in China..that shows the pic and the job posting

Good historical perspective in that account. Very interesting articles/references when you scroll down.
What’s old is new again.

No, they were reacting to the fact that you suck Panda.
