In March, when covid cases began spiking around India, Bani Jolly went hunting for answers in the virus's genetic code. CNN . is funded by The National Natural Science Foundation of China Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau; no. 874850). Despite the high frequency of recombination among bat viruses, the block-like nature of the recombination patterns across the genome permits retrieval of a clean subalignment for phylogenetic analysis. Since experts have suggested that pangolins may be the reservoir species for COVID-19, the scaly anteater has been catapulted into headlines, news reports, and conversationsand some are calling COVID-19 "the revenge of the . RegionB showed no PI signals within the region, except one including sequence SC2018 (Sichuan), and thus this sequence was also removed from the set. 1, vev016 (2015). A second breakpoint-conservative approach was conservative with respect to breakpoint identification, but this means that it is accepting of false-negative outcomes in breakpoint inference, resulting in less certainty that a putative NRR truly contains no breakpoints. While there is evidence of positive selection in the sarbecovirus lineage leading to RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 (ref. 1c). In regionA, we removed subregion A1 (ntpositions 3,8724,716 within regionA) and subregion A4 (nt1,6422,113) because both showed PI signals with other subregions of regionA. This is evidence for numerous recombination events occurring in the evolutionary history of the sarbecoviruses22,33; specifying all past events in their correct temporal order34 is challenging and not shown here. Wan, Y., Shang, J., Graham, R., Baric, R. & Li, F. Receptor recognition by the novel Coronavirus from Wuhan: an analysis based on decade-long structural studies of SARS coronavirus. T.L. Evolutionary origins of the SARS-CoV-2 sarbecovirus lineage responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. We focused on these three non-recombining regions/alignments for divergence time estimation; this avoids inappropriate modelling of evolutionary processes with recombination on strictly bifurcating trees, which can result in different artefacts such as homoplasies that inflate branch lengths and lead to apparently longer evolutionary divergence times. This provides compelling support for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage being the consequence of a direct or nearly-direct zoonotic jump from bats, because the key ACE2-binding residues were present in viruses circulating in bats. 2). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-020-0771-4, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-020-0771-4.

An initial genomic sequence analysis found that the reemergence of COVID-19 in New Zealand was caused by a SARS-CoV-2 from the (now ancestral) lineage B.1.1.1 of the pangolin nomenclature ( 17 ). N. Engl. The fact that they are geographically relatively distant is in agreement with their somewhat distant TMRCA, because the spatial structure suggests that migration between their locations may be uncommon. Schierup, M. H. & Hein, J. Recombination and the molecular clock. 2a. Pangolin was developed to implement the dynamic nomenclature of SARS-CoV-2 lineages, known as the Pango nomenclature. This is notable because the variable-loop region contains the six key contact residues in the RBD that give SARS-CoV-2 its ACE2-binding specificity27,37. We say that this approach is conservative because sequences and subregions generating recombination signals have been removed, and BFRs were concatenated only when no PI signals could be detected between them. Due to the absence of temporal signal in the sarbecovirus datasets, we used informative prior distributions on the evolutionary rate to estimate divergence dates. 31922087). Unfortunately, a response that would achieve containment was not possible. Combining regions A, B and C and removing the five named sequences gives us putative NRR1, as an alignment of 63sequences. Nature 558, 180182 (2018). A deep dive into the genetics of the novel coronavirus shows it seems to have spent some time infecting both bats and pangolins before it jumped into humans, researchers said .

The latter was reconstructed using IQTREE66 v.2.0 under a general time-reversible (GTR) model with a discrete gamma distribution to model inter-site rate variation. Extended Data Fig. This study provides an integration of existing classifications and describes evolutionary trends of the SARS-CoV . Are pangolins the intermediate host of the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)? Abstract. Specifically, we used a combination of six methods implemented in v.5.5 of RDP5 (ref. 5 (NRR1) are conservative in the sense that NRR1 is more likely to be non-recombinant than NRR2 or NRA3. The fact that these estimates lie between the rates for MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43 is consistent with the intermediate sampling time range of about 18years (Fig. Dudas, G., Carvalho, L. M., Rambaut, A.

In light of these time-dependent evolutionary rate dynamics, a slower rate is appropriate for calibration of the sarbecovirus evolutionary history. 725422-ReservoirDOCS). The ongoing pandemic spread of a new human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which is associated with severe pneumonia/disease (COVID-19), has resulted in the generation of tens of thousands of virus genome sequences. Time-measured phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using a Bayesian approach implemented in BEAST42 v.1.10.4. 62,63), the GTR+ model and 100bootstrap replicateswas inferred for each BFR >500nt. Lam, H. M., Ratmann, O. and T.A.C. After removal of A1 and A4, we named the new region A. 23, 18911901 (2006). While it is possible that pangolins, or another hitherto undiscovered species, may have acted as an intermediate host facilitating transmission to humans, current evidence is consistent with the virus having evolved in bats resulting in bat sarbecoviruses that can replicate in the upper respiratory tract of both humans and pangolins25,32. These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. Individual sequences such as RpShaanxi2011, Guangxi GX2013 and two sequences from Zhejiang Province (CoVZXC21/CoVZC45), as previously shown22,25, have strong phylogenetic recombination signals because they fall on different evolutionary lineages (with bootstrap support >80%) depending on what region of the genome is being examined. Ge, X. et al. Genetics 172, 26652681 (2006). Because 3SEQ is the most statistically powerful of the mosaic methods61, we used it to identify the best-supported breakpoint history for each potential child (recombinant) sequence in the dataset. The coverage threshold and consensus sequence generation threshold were set to 20 and 90 respectively. Wu, Y. et al. And this genotype pattern led to creating a new Pangolin lineage named B.1.640.2, a phylogenetic sister group to the old B.1.640 lineage renamed B.1.640.1. Alternatively, combining 3SEQ-inferred breakpoints, GARD-inferred breakpoints and the necessity of PI signals for inferring recombination, we can use the 9.9-kb region spanning nucleotides 11,88521,753 (NRR2) as a putative non-recombining region; this approach is breakpoint-conservative because it is conservative in identifying breakpoints but not conservative in identifying non-recombining regions. To obtain This dataset comprises an updated version of that used in Hon et al.15 and includes a cluster of genomes sampled in late 2003 and early 2004, but the evolutionary rate estimate without this cluster (0.00175 substitutions per siteyr1 (0.00117,0.00229)) is consistent with the complete dataset (0.00169 substitutions per siteyr1, (0.00131,0.00205)).

Using a third consensus-based approach for identifying recombinant regions in individual sequenceswith six different recombination detection methods in RDP5 (ref. In other words, a true breakpoint is less likely to be called as such (this is breakpoint-conservative), and thus the construction of a non-recombining region may contain true recombination breakpoints (with insufficient evidence to call them as such). & Boni, M.

PureBasic 53 13 constellations Public Python 42 17 . Su, S. et al. Specifically, using a formal Bayesian approach42 (see Methods), we estimate a fast evolutionary rate (0.00169 substitutions per siteyr1, 95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval (0.00131,0.00205)) for SARS viruses sampled over a limited timescale (1year), a slower rate (0.00078 (0.00063,0.00092) substitutions per siteyr1) for MERS-CoV on a timescale of about 4years and the slowest rate (0.00024 (0.00019,0.00029) substitutions per siteyr1) for HCoV-OC43 over almost five decades. These means are based on the mean rates estimated for MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43, respectively, while the standard deviations are set ten times higher than empirical values to allow greater prior uncertainty and avoid strong bias (Extended Data Fig. "This is an extremely interesting . The Pango dynamic nomenclature is a popular system for classifying and naming genetically-distinct lineages of SARS-CoV-2, including variants of concern, and is based on the analysis of complete or near-complete virus genomes. The estimated divergence times for the pangolin virus most closely related to the SARS-CoV-2/RaTG13 lineage range from 1851 (1730-1958) to 1877 (1746-1986), indicating that these pangolin . We extracted a similar number (n=35) of genomes from a MERS-CoV dataset analysed by Dudas et al.59 using the phylogenetic diversity analyser tool60 (v.0.5). We extracted a total of 2189 full-length SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes from various states of India from the EpiCov repository of the GISAID initiative on 12 June 2020. obtained the genome sequences of 10 SARS-CoV-2 virus strains through nanopore sequencing of nasopharyngeal swabs in Malta and analyzed the assembled genome with pangolin software, and the results showed that these virus strains were assigned to B.1 lineage, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 was widely spread in Europe (Biazzo et al., 2021). J. Virol. Green boxplots show the TMRCA estimate for the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage and its most closely related pangolin lineage (Guangdong 2019), with the light and dark coloured version based on the HCoV-OC43 and MERS-CoV centred priors, respectively. Forni, D., Cagliani, R., Clerici, M. & Sironi, M. Molecular evolution of human coronavirus genomes. Lu, R. et al. In this study, we report the case of a child with severe combined immu presenting a prolonged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Except for specifying that sequences are linear, all settings were kept to their defaults. To examine temporal signal in the sequenced data, we plotted root-to-tip divergence against sampling time using TempEst39 v.1.5.3 based on a maximum likelihood tree. These differences reflect the fact that rate estimates can vary considerably with the timescale of measurement, a frequently observed phenomenon in viruses known as time-dependent evolutionary rates41,43,44. Preprint at https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.28.122366 (2020). Using the most conservative approach (NRR1), the divergence time estimate for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 is 1969 (95% HPD: 19302000), while that between SARS-CoV and its most closely related bat sequence is 1962 (95% HPD: 19321988); see Fig. Posterior rate distributions for MERS-CoV (far left) and HCoV-OC43 (far right) using BEAST on n=27 sequences spread over 4 years (MERS-CoV) and n=27 sequences spread over 49 years (HCoV-OC43).

Pangolin was developed to implement the dynamic nomenclature of SARS-CoV-2 lineages, known as the Pango nomenclature. Maclean, O. 3). B 281, 20140732 (2014). Duchene, S. et al. With horseshoe bats currently the most plausible origin of SARS-CoV-2, it is important to consider that sarbecoviruses circulate in a variety of horseshoe bat species with widely overlapping species ranges57. Removal of five sequences that appear to be recombinants and two small subregions of BFRA was necessary to ensure that there were no phylogenetic incongruence signals among or within the three BFRs. However, formal testing using marginal likelihood estimation41 does provide some evidence of a temporal signal, albeit with limited log Bayes factor support of 3 (NRR1), 10 (NRR2) and 3 (NRA3); see Supplementary Table 1. A single 3SEQ run on the genome alignment resulted in 67 out of 68sequences supporting some recombination in the past, with multiple candidate breakpoint ranges listed for each putative recombinant. Using both prior distributions, this results in six highly similar posterior rate estimates for NRR1, NRR2 and NRA3, centred around 0.00055 substitutions per siteyr1. Temporal signal was tested using a recently developed marginal likelihood estimation procedure41 (Supplementary Table 1). However, on closer inspection, the relative divergences in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. Several of the recombinant sequences in these trees show that recombination events do occur across geographically divergent clades. The difficulty in inferring reliable evolutionary histories for coronaviruses is that their high recombination rate48,49 violates the assumption of standard phylogenetic approaches because different parts of the genome have different histories. PI signals were identified (with bootstrap support >80%) for seven of these eight breakpoints: positions 1,684, 3,046, 9,237, 11,885, 21,753, 22,773 and 24,628. Rambaut, A., Lam, T. T., Carvalho, L.
