Where Did This Coronavirus Originate? Virus Hunters Find Genetic Clues In Bats Enlarge this image toggle caption Justin Ng/Linfa Wang Justin Ng/Linfa Wang Updated at 11 a.m. Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China compared its genome to a library of known viruses — and found a 96% match with coronavirus samples taken from horseshoe bats from Yunnan. As for clues the virus holds about its animal origins, Robert Garry and fellow researchers have hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 could be a blend of viruses from bats and another animal. Now I say it's a billion dollar question," said Wang, speaking to NPR's Short Wave podcast on Tuesday.
