   The new evidence is sure to provide a jolt to the debate over the   
   pandemic’s origins, even if it does not resolve the question of how it   
   began.   
      
   In recent weeks, the so-called lab leak theory, which posits that the   
   coronavirus emerged from a research lab in Wuhan, has gained traction   
   thanks to a new intelligence assessment from the U.S. Department of Energy   
   and hearings led by the new Republican House leadership.   
      
   But the genetic data from the market offers some of the most tangible   
   evidence yet of how the virus could have spilled into people from wild   
   animals outside a lab. It also suggests that Chinese scientists have given   
   an incomplete account of evidence that could fill in details about how the   
   virus was spreading at the Huanan market.   
      
   Jeremy Kamil, a virus expert at Louisiana State University Health Sciences   
   Center Shreveport who was not involved in the study, said the findings   
   showed that “the samples from the market that had early COVID lineages in   
   them were contaminated with DNA reads of wild animals.”   
      
   Kamil said that fell short of conclusive evidence that an infected animal   
   had set off the pandemic. But, he said, “it really puts the spotlight on   
   the illegal animal trade in an intimate way.”   
      
   Chinese scientists had released a study looking at the same market samples   
   in February 2022. That study had reported that samples were positive for   
   the coronavirus but suggested that the virus had come from infected people   
   who were shopping or working in the market, rather than from animals being   
   sold there.   
      
   At some point, those same researchers, including some affiliated with the   
   Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, posted the raw data   
   from swabs around the market to GISAID, an international repository of   
   genetic sequences of viruses. (Attempts to reach the Chinese scientists by   
   phone Thursday were not successful.)   
      
   On March 4, Florence Débarre, an evolutionary biologist at the French   
   National Center for Scientific Research, happened to be searching that   
   database for information related to the Huanan market when, she said in an   
   interview, she noticed more sequences than usual popping up. Confused at   
   first about whether they contained new data, Débarre put them aside, only   
   to log in again last week and discover that they held a trove of raw data.   
      
   Virus experts had been awaiting that raw sequence data from the market   
   since they learned of its existence in the Chinese report from February   
   2022. Débarre said she had alerted other scientists, including the leaders   
   of a team that had published a set of studies last year pointing to the   
   market as the origin.   
      
   An international team — which included Michael Worobey, an evolutionary   
   biologist at the University of Arizona; Kristian Andersen, a virus expert   
   at the Scripps Research Institute in California; and Edward Holmes, a   
   biologist at the University of Sydney — started mining the new genetic   
   data last week.   
      
   One sample in particular caught their attention. It had been taken from a   
   cart linked to a specific stall at the Huanan market that Holmes had   
   visited in 2014, scientists involved in the analysis said. That stall,   
   Holmes found, contained caged raccoon dogs on top of a separate cage   
   holding birds, exactly the sort of environment conducive to the   
   transmission of new viruses.   
      
   The swab taken from a cart there in early 2020, the research team found,   
   contained genetic material from the virus and a raccoon dog.   
      
   “We were able to figure out relatively quickly that at least in one of   
   these samples, there was a lot of raccoon dog nucleic acid, along with   
   virus nucleic acid,” said Stephen Goldstein, a virus expert at the   
   University of Utah who worked on the new analysis. (Nucleic acids are the   
   chemical building blocks that carry genetic information.)   
      
   After the international team stumbled upon the new data, they reached out   
   to the Chinese researchers who had uploaded the files with an offer to   
   collaborate, hewing to rules of the online repository, scientists involved   
   with the new analysis said. After that, the sequences disappeared from   
   GISAID.   
      
   It is not clear who removed them or why they were taken down.
