Could COVID-19 have originated

from a fusion of rare infectious diseases

 rather than wildlife?

A groundbreaking study

using A.I.-driven max-logistic intelligence

suggests exactly that.



A.I. Uncovers

Hidden Genetic Clues

that Challenge COVID-19's Origins

 

It's complicated.

 

The A.I. specific recipe for Covid-19 may never be recovered, but using other A.I. techniques can reverse-engineer the virus up to a point.

 

Now enough evidence has been presented suggesting that Covid-19 itself was a sophisticated bio-weapon made in a laboratory.

A surprising new study suggests that,

COVID-19 may not have originated from bats or pangolins, but rather from a rare fusion of human diseases...

Using an advanced A.I.-driven approach called max-logistic intelligence, researchers identified genetic links between COVID-19 and two obscure infections - glanders and Sennetsu fever - potentially rewriting the narrative of how the virus emerged.

 

 

 


Unraveling the Origins of COVID-19

The origins of COVID-19 remain uncertain despite extensive research.

 

A new study published in Advances in Biomarker Sciences and Technology (ABST) takes an A.I.-driven approach to analyze DNA methylation patterns at 865,859 CpG sites in blood samples from early COVID-19 patients.

Led by Zhengjun Zhang from the University of Wisconsin's Department of Statistics, the study used max-logistic intelligence to identify strong genetic links.

 

The findings suggest that COVID-19 may have resulted from the natural fusion of two rare infectious diseases - glanders and Sennetsu fever - combined with common human illnesses.

A Shift Away from Wildlife Origins

This challenges the widely accepted belief that the virus originated in bats or pangolins, raising the possibility that previous studies placed too much emphasis on wildlife origins.

"Establishing such connections across 865,859 CpG sites is quite a challenge, with random correlations occurring at a probability of less than one in ten million," says Zhang.

 

"However, when factoring in the rarity of these diseases, the odds of discovering a meaningful link drop to just one in one hundred million, further strengthening the validity of these results."

 

 


Max-Logistic Intelligence - A Game Changer?

Max-logistic intelligence has been previously demonstrated in cancer biomarker studies.

 

Unlike traditional A.I. algorithms or modern machine learning techniques such as random forests, deep learning, and support vector machines, max-logistic intelligence offers greater interpretability, consistency, and robustness, making it especially useful for establishing causal relationships.

Zhang emphasized that while identifying reliable biomarkers is critical for scientific progress, many gene markers identified in isolated studies fail in other cohorts, resulting in low or no cross-group commonality.

"DNA methylation, the process by which methyl groups are added to DNA, plays a central role in gene expression and disease development," explains Zhang.

 

"Errors in methylation can trigger diseases, prompting studies into COVID-19's DNA methylation patterns."
