Molecular evolution of protein sequences and codon usage in monkeypox viruses

2022-12-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The monkeypox virus (mpox virus, MPXV) epidemic in 2022 poses a significant public health risk. However, the evolutionary principles of MPXV are largely unknown. Here, we examined the evolutionary patterns of protein sequences and codon usage in MPXV. We first showed the signal of positive selection in OPG027 specifically in Clade I. We then discovered accelerated protein sequence evolution ove...
