claim: swiss scientists have recreated the coronvirus in a lab from just the first
evidence_1: > it worked perfectly, like a swiss watch. next, the researchers needed to convert the coronavirus genome from dna to a related molecule called rna (coronavirus is an rna virus, meaning its genetic material is rna rather than dna).", "behind the doors of a high-security laboratory in a tiny swiss village, researchers at the university of bern recreated the coronavirus, formally known as sars-cov-2, in just a week using yeast, a published genome, and mail- order dna.", "this content was published on march 3, 2020 - 15:00 march 3, 2020 - 15:00 see in another language: 1  (zh)  three weeks before the first case was identified on swiss soil scientists at a high security lab managed to make a synthetic clone of the coronavirus.",
