Genomic transfers help to decipher the ancient evolution of filoviruses and interactions with vertebrate hosts
2023-11-29
Abstract excerpt
Although several filoviruses are dangerous human pathogens, there is conflicting evidence regarding their origins and interactions with animal hosts. Here we attempt to improve this understanding using the paleoviral record over a geological time scale, protein structure predictions, tests for evolutionary maintenance, and phylogenetic methods that alleviate sources of bias and error. We found evidence for long br...
