Original Note:
It is incorrect to assert that the primary purpose of GoF research is to necessarily create bioweapons. "It particularly refers to seeing how a pathogen might be able to change... Viruses are constantly mutating, and GoF work is an attempt to... anticipate what might come next" https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/gain-function
