    Snippet: populations. Indeed, some researchers have called for the suspension of virus gain-of-function laboratory experiments 13 on the grounds that they would tell us little about real-world viral evolution at the risk of constructing viral strains that are pandemic to new hosts. Here, we use a harmless virus, bacteriophage l, to demonstrate how gain-of-function experiments can identify mutations that mimic those that occur in nature: we find that tw.....
    Document: populations. Indeed, some researchers have called for the suspension of virus gain-of-function laboratory experiments 13 on the grounds that they would tell us little about real-world viral evolution at the risk of constructing viral strains that are pandemic to new hosts. Here, we use a harmless virus, bacteriophage l, to demonstrate how gain-of-function experiments can identify mutations that mimic those that occur in nature: we find that two amino acid residues that are critical for gain of function in the laboratory recurrently evolve in nature.
