Nature medicine: A SARS-like cluster circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence (09 November 2015)
30 March 2020 Editors’ note, March 2020: We are aware that this article is being used as the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered. There is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus.

Authors include Zengli-Li Shi, the "Bat Woman" that lead the Wuhan lab. She started gain of function research on CoV spike proteins in 2008 (1) (2). In 2014 she worked on this study in the University of North Carolina with Ralph S Baris (another author, UNC), but left to the Wuhan lab when a moratorium on gain of function research was instituted in the US.
Read the Acknowledgements too. NIAID (among others) provided funding, NIH approved continued study, an exception to the moritorium:
Experiments with the full-length and chimeric SHC014 recombinant viruses were initiated and performed before the GOF research funding pause and have since been reviewed and approved for continued study by the NIH.
"So what's it say there?"
"She worked on Gain of Function with bat viruses and leads the Wuhan Lab."
"So that means she most likely worked on the virus in the lab."
"Quit spreading conspiracy theories, you bigot."
