Does "gain-of-function studies" mean "studies of how virus gets its functions"?
Context:
The European Commission needs to take an interest in the controversy over so-called gain-of-function studies with dangerous viruses and should initiate a risk-benefit analysis for this line of research, 56 scientists from more than a dozen countries write in a letter sent to commission President José Manuel Barroso. The 18 December letter accuses the European Society for Virology (ESV) of making "misleading scientific statements" when it lobbied Barroso in support of the hotly debated studies 2 months ago.
