TWiV 762: SARS-CoV-2 origins with Robert Garry

<p>Robert Garry joins TWiV to explain how the molecular biology of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it came from Nature and not a lab, including the receptor binding domain, the furin cleavage site, and the two lineages circulating in Wuhan wildlife markets.</p> <p>Hosts: <a href= "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Racaniello">Vincent Racaniello</a>, <a href="http://www.trichinella.org/">Dickson Despommier</a>, <a href="http://www.alandove.com/">Alan Dove</a>, <a href="http://mgm.ufl.edu/profile/condit-rich/">Rich Condit</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/bioprofbarker">Brianne Barker</a></p> <p>Guest: <a href= "https://medicine.tulane.edu/departments/microbiology-immunology-tulane-cancer-center-tips-advisory-committee-tips-mentor/faculty"> Robert Garry</a></p> <p>Subscribe (free): <a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=300973784">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL3R3aXYubWljcm9iZXdvcmxkLmxpYnN5bnByby5jb20vdHdpdg%3D%3D">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href= "http://twiv.microbeworld.libsynpro.com/twiv">RSS</a>, <a href="http://eepurl.com/Gcw59">email</a></p> <p>Become a <a href= "https://www.microbe.tv/contribute">patron</a> of TWiV!</p> <h3><strong>Links for this episode</strong></h3> <ul> <li><a href= "https://virological.org/t/the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2/398">The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2</a> (Nature)</li> <li><a href= "https://virological.org/t/early-appearance-of-two-distinct-genomic-lineages-of-sars-cov-2-in-different-wuhan-wildlife-markets-suggests-sars-cov-2-has-a-natural-origin/691"> Two early genome lineages</a> in Wuhan markets (virological.org)</li> <li>Insights from spike proteins of <a href= "https://virological.org/t/spike-protein-sequences-of-cambodian-thai-and-japanese-bat-sarbecoviruses-provide-insights-into-the-natural-evolution-of-the-receptor-binding-domain-and-s1-s2-cleavage-site/622"> bat sarbecoviruses</a> (virological.org)</li> <li><a title="https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-762-letters/" href= "https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/tw
