Investigation into Wuhan Institute of Virology Pathogen Databases

  • 1. DRASTIC

Description

On the 12th Sep 2019, the main database of samples and viral sequences of the Wuhan Institute of Virology went offline.

Eventually every single one of the 16 viral pathogen databases managed by the WIV was taken offline.

Here we show how these databases may provide essential clues at to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and review the circumstances in which they were taken offline.
