Evolutionary Dynamics of MERS-CoV: Potential Recombination, Positive Selection and Transmission.

Scientific reports - 4 May 2016

Zhang Zhao, Shen Libing, Gu Xun

Abstract excerpt

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) belongs to beta group of coronavirus and was first discovered in 2012. MERS-CoV can infect multiple host species and cause severe diseases in human. We conducted a series of phylogenetic and bioinformatic analyses to study the evolution dynamics of MERS-CoV among different host species with genomic data. Our analyses show: 1) 28 potential recombinant...
