As we can see with the (stalled [italics]) verification by GenBank for the Malacomys monkeypox that links to U. Antwerp and no apparent publication of the spike of the coronavirus for the same swamp rat, Claire Bridges' CHD/GATA-4 trajectory (beginning @ post # 1,094) will link back to the ancient fish of Yunnan, such as Haikouicthys, previously mentioned (USMB search 'Haikouichtys'), recalling the E.C. Holmes link to the Oxford Zoology Department, and Holmes co-author linking to the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Yong-Zhen Zhang, who early on worked at that institute.
Claire's zinc-finger connection to CHD links to the zinc-finger genes of a coelacanth, We're particularly interested in any Q (glutamine) repeats:
Latimeria chalumnae / HIVEP1 Zinc_Finger Protein 40
'....MQTEKHGLSQQIFSFCNGKAESCETGD....EEE.'
So we see the evolution of Q (glutamine) and E (glutamic acid) in this ancient link to zinc-finger gene evolution.
Kunming Institute of Zoology would be very interested in the Chengjiang fauna, therefore we reinforce our Q & E comparisons with this likelihood from a BBC article:

or
or
'....Myllokungmingia fengjiaoa, Haikouichthys ercaicunensis....rates of evolution at that time must have been "exceptionally fast."
So too zinc-finger gene evolution. Next, on an immunodeficiency-like virus trajectory, we link the coelacanth to a foamy virus, which report came ~ one month after Fau Chi's US Senate testimony on 26 Ap 2012 as the Mojiang miners were going into the [Kunming [italics]) Hospital:
Jun 2012 An Endogenous Foamy-Like Viral Element in the Coelacanth Genome
Little is known about the origin and long-term evolutionary mode of retroviruses. Retroviruses can integrate into their hosts' genomes, providing a molecular fossil record for studying their deep history. Here we report the discovery of an endogenous foamy virus-like element, which we designate...
