AI Verified The PMC-hosted paper contains the stored sentence; author corrected from an individual coauthor to the article title. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 15d ago
Disputed The sentence does appear verbatim in the PMC article at the supplied URL, but that article is a multi-author paper, not a single-author statement by Scott Hughes. PubMed lists the work as "The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2" by Jonathan E. Pekar et al., including Scott Hughes as one of many coauthors, published in Science on 2022-08-26 (Epub 2022-07-26). Under this platform’s rules, a quote from a paper with multiple individual authors cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributed only to Scott Hughes.
