Comentário do professor

Para transformar a oração em negativa mantemos a estrutura original e negamos o verbo composto de capacidade. Ou seja, substitui-se were por weren’t antes de able to, resultando em: “the genetic timeline Dr Thomas and her colleagues weren’t able to create.”

Gramaticalmente trata‑se de uma oração relativa reduzida: (that) Dr Thomas and her colleagues were able to create modifica the genetic timeline. A negação incide dentro dessa oração relativa, por isso aparece junto ao auxiliar.

A forma contraída weren’t é natural e correta; a opção plena were not able to também é válida. A locução adverbial inicial “In fact,” permanece inalterada.
