8 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Cytomegaloviruses (order Herpesvirales) display remarkable species-specificity as a result of long-term co-evolution with their mammalian hosts.Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is exquisitely adapted to our species and displays high genetic diversity.We leveraged information on inter-species divergence of primate-infecting cytomegaloviruses and intra-species diversity of clinical isolates to provide a genome-wide...
