At a conference in Japan this week, Shi Zhengli, a specialist on bat coronaviruses, reported that none of the viruses stored in her freezers are the most recent ancestors of the virus SARS-CoV-2.

Shi Zhengli, who is best known for her work with the Wuhan Institute for Virology, conducted the groundbreaking research along with other scientists from China, the United States and Switzerland.
