When the pandemic began many scientists were looking for answers. James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D. found himself doing what he does best, trying to understand the virus on a genetic level.

He downloaded the gene sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and started comparing it to other known coronaviruses. Everything looked normal until he decided to compare the gene sequence to a library of patented technology sequences. He found a match. It was a DNA technology sequence that is used to cut and insert a new set of genes, called pShuttle.

“It’s like … a surgeon leaving a sponge in the body. It doesn’t belong there,” Mr. Lyons-Weiler said.

But four days later when he tried to download the virus data again, it was completely different. The database changed and he could no longer replicate his results.

This is where the controversy began.

Mr. Lyons-Weiler is the president and CEO of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, an advocacy group that pushes for accuracy and integrity in science and for biomedical researchers to put people’s health before profits. He is an established academic and researcher with a Ph.D. in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology and a postdoctoral in computational molecular biology.
