Comentário do professor

In fact, the genetic timeline Dr Thomas and her colleagues weren’t able to create.

A transformação negativa foi feita inserindo a negação após o auxiliar do tempo passado. A construção afirmativa usa were able to + verbo; para negar coloca-se not após o auxiliar, resultando em were not able to, aqui contraído para weren’t able to.

Note que o sujeito composto Dr Thomas and her colleagues exige o verbo no plural (were), portanto a forma negativa correta mantém essa concordância. O verbo principal permanece em sua forma base: create.

O significado muda de "conseguiram criar" para "não conseguiram criar", preservando o tempo passado e a ideia de capacidade/realização.
