Abstract excerpt
Zoonotic viruses frequently cross-species barriers, but the molecular processes enabling reverse zoonosis remain poorly defined. The COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented opportunity to track SARS-CoV-2 evolution in humans and its capacity to infect nonhuman primates. Our earlier analyses of primate ACE2 sequences identified key substitutions that confer resistance to wild-type (WT) SARS-CoV-2 and are...
