Generation of restriction endonucleases barcode map to trace SARS-CoV-2 origin and evolution

Abstract Since the first report of SARS-CoV-2 in China in 2019, there has been a huge debate about the origin. In this work, using a different method we aimed to strengthen the observation that no evidence of genetic manipulation has been found by (1) detecting classical restriction site (RS) sequen...
