A comparative recombination analysis of human coronaviruses and implications for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

2021-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic prompts evaluation of recombination in human coronavirus (hCoV) evolution. We undertook recombination analyses of 158,118 public seasonal hCoV, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV genome sequences using the RDP4 software. We found moderate evidence for 8 SARS-CoV-2 recombination events, two of which involved the spike gene, and low evidence for one SARS-CoV-1 recombinatio...
