Mutation signatures inform the natural host of SARS-CoV-2

1 Dec 2021

Abstract excerpt

The origin of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus of COVID-19, has been a mystery since the beginning of the outbreak and has been heavily debated lately. One of the main reasons for this is that RaTG13, the closest relative found to date [1] (in the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus affinis), has only 96.1% nucleotide similarity to SARS-CoV-2 (with ∼1200 nucleotide differences). The situation is distinct from the two...
