Signatures of adaptive evolution during human to mink SARS CoV2 cross-species transmission inform estimates of the COVID19 pandemic timing

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> One of the unique features of SARS-CoV-2 is that it mainly evolved neutrally or under purifying selection during the early pandemic. This contrasts with the preceding epidemics of the closely related SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, both of which evolved adaptively.
