>Gain-of-function (GOF) research involves experimentation that aims or is expected to (and/or, perhaps, actually does) increase the transmissibility and/or virulence of pathogens. Such research, when conducted by responsible scientists, usually aims to improve understanding of disease causing agents, their interaction with human hosts, and/or their potential to cause pandemics.

<Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research
>An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.
>The researchers created a chimaeric virus, made up of… the backbone of a SARS virus that had been adapted to grow in mice and to mimic human disease. The chimaera infected human airway cells
>“If the virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,”
