Genetic sequence of coronavirus was submitted to US database two weeks before China’s official disclosure, documents show
The genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, was submitted to a National Institutes of Health database two weeks before its release by the Chinese government, according to documents that were shared with US lawmakers and released Wednesday.
The sequence doesn’t indicate the origin of the coronavirus but undermines the Chinese government’s claims about its knowledge of the information, one expert told CNN – and could have cost critical weeks in the development of a vaccine against the virus.
On December 28, 2019, virologist Dr. Lili Ren of the Institute of Pathogen Biology at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College submitted the genetic sequence to GenBank, a “genetic sequence repository that collects, preserves, and provides public access to assembled and annotated nucleotide sequence data from all domains of life,” according to a letter that Dr. Melanie Egorin, assistant secretary of legislation at the US Department of Health and Human Services, sent to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers last month.
GenBank is managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, part of the US National Institutes of Health.
Ren’s submission “was incomplete and lacked the necessary information required for publication,” the letter says. She was sent a resubmission request three days later, but “NIH never received the additional information requested.” The submission was removed from a processing queue on January 16, 2020, and “the sequence was never made publicly available on GenBank.”

Trump knew about the COVID-19 virus before it hit America, I was in the hospital on Mar 2, 2020 when I saw all them bodies being taken out of the State of Washington Hospital, and they had no idea what it was and what was sad people were not even buried right there bodies were buried in sheets and put in the ground and no one was surviving. I was very sick in Nov-Dec 2019 and was at Urgent Care twice and both times I was diagnosed with the same pneumonia, but I swore I had Covid then.
