As quoted

The genomes of RaTG13 carried by bats and SARS-CoV-2 differ in 1,177 [nucleotides]... In 2020, we compared the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 and our unpublished bat coronavirus sequences and found it shared a 96.2% identity with RaTG13. [RaTG13] is a distant ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 that differs by 1100 nucleotides.

The WIV possessed or had access to a bat coronavirus sufficiently similar to SARS-CoV-2 to serve as an engineering backboneDoubtfuldenies
