6,000-plus tests bring down Covid positivity ratio in Pakistan

China releases genomic data that could help clarify origin of Covid-19 pandemic

“I'm pleased that the data have been updated and made available on different platforms and that [the researchers] have made their updated manuscript available on a preprint server,” says Maria Van Kerkhove, an epidemiologist at the World Health Organization who last week urged the Chinese group to share the market data after another research team stumbled on some of it. “I reiterate that any and all data related to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 needs to be made available immediately.

Now Gao and his co-authors have made a great deal more of their data available on databases including GISAID, which many researchers use to share genetic sequences of SARS-CoV-2. In their revised preprint, which they posted on 29 March on the server ChinaXiv, they note that “environmental samples showed the abundance of different vertebrata genera.” Some of these same samples also had traces of SARS-CoV-2.

The genetic sequences from the Wuhan market took an unusual journey into the spotlight. Florence Débarre, an evolutionary biologist at the French national research agency, CNRS, was surprised to find a subset of the data 3 weeks ago while combing through GISAID. When she collaborated with a team of scientists from outside of China to analyze the sequences, they found the evidence that the market had the mammals, which they took to WHO.
