Evolutionary analysis of genomes of SARS-CoV-2-related bat viruses suggests old roots, constant effective population size, and possible increase of fitness

2022-03-01

Abstract excerpt

It is of vital practical interest to understand the co-evolution of bat β -coronaviruses with their hosts, since a number of these most likely crossed the species boundaries and infected humans. Complete sequences of 47 consensus genomes are available for bat β -coronaviruses related to the SARS-CoV-2 human virus. We carried out several types of evolutionary analyses using these data. First, using the publicly a...
