  1. The gain of function experiments allows us to manipulate a virus to attack a new host such as human beings or give the virus new properties. In the US in 2014 Shi Zhengli collaborated on additional gain-of-function experiments led by Ralph S. Baric of the University of North Carolina, which showed that two critical mutations that the MERS coronavirus possesses allow it to bind to the human ACE2 receptor. Later that year Obama banned such experiments on US soil and I believe the US then invested in the same research in Wuhan, China.
