Comparative analysis of genome-encoded viral sequences reveals the evolutionary history of flavivirids (family Flaviviridae )
1 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Flavivirids (family Flaviviridae) are a group of positive-strand ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses that pose serious risks to human and animal health on a global scale. Here, we use flavivirid-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, identified in animal genomes, to reconstruct the long-term evolutionary history of family Flaviviridae. We demonstrate that flavivirids are >100 million years old and...
