   "They also say there is no public record of a highly similar virus to SARS-CoV-2 - which causes Covid-19 - being isolated in any lab. In addition, a genetic analysis published in _Nature Medicine_ last spring found "strong evidence" there was no genetic manipulation of the new coronavirus. Others argue it is possible there were virusesin the lab, or handled during research, that were not publicly known. Genetic engineer Alina Chan, another signatory to the open letter and a researcher at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, said it was important for the WHO team to be clear in the report about their limitations when evaluatinghypotheses. "If they don't have the mandate and they didn't have the access, just say so right away," she said."
