Obama signed the order lifting the gain of function ban prior to leaving office.

Hmm... I don't think Barack Obama was President of the United States of America on December 19th, 2017.
But I'll be happy to take a look at any link you can provide saying otherwise.
No idea about this topic in particular, but one can sign something that goes into effect at a later date...

NIH took advantage of Obama's actions in 2017. Trump ended the funding when it became public.
