A 2006 paper authored by Dr. Ralph Baricâthe University of North Carolina virologist widely recognized as the leading architect of chimeric coronavirus genomes and in silico viral assembly techniquesâopenly describes how synthetic viral genomics could be used to create viruses digitally, containing misleading genetic âfingerprintsâ designed to redirect investigators toward a false geographic or evolutionary origin.
The SARS-CoV-2 pathogen of the COVID-19 pandemic would be found to possess exactly the three signature spike features that Baric and his collaborators had explicitly proposed engineering into chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses in the 2018 DARPA/EcoHealth DEFUSE proposal: a furin cleavage site (PRRA) insertion at the S1/S2 junction, targeted human-optimizing mutations throughout the receptor-binding domain (including the critical Q498 residue), and the two-proline (V1060P/L1061P) substitution to stabilize the spike protein in its prefusion conformation.
Also in 2018, Baric was granted U.S. Patent 9,884,895 B2 for âMethods and compositions for chimeric coronavirus spike proteins,â which claims proprietary techniques for modular domain swapping and seamless synthetic computer assembly of coronavirus spikes.
“This powerful technique provides the bioterrorist with a âscapegoatâ option; leaving a sequence signature that misdirects efforts at tracking the true originators of the crime,” writes Baric.
