Zhou, P. et al. Root-to-tip divergence as a function of sampling time for non-recombinant regions NRR1 and NRR2 and recombination-masked alignment set NRA3. To begin characterizing any ancestral relationships for SARS-CoV-2, NRRs of the genome must be identified so that reliable phylogenetic reconstruction and dating can be performed. Transparent bands of interquartile range width and with the same colours are superimposed to highlight the overlap between estimates. PANGOLIN lineage database (15, 16) was used to analyze the frequency of lineages among countries. This produced non-recombining alignment NRA3, which included 63 of the 68genomes. Genetic lineages of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging and circulating around the world since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biol. 1, vev003 (2015). Evol. Mol. Lemey, P., Minin, V. N., Bielejec, F., Pond, S. L. K. & Suchard, M. A. 3). 16, e1008421 (2020). The relatively fast evolutionary rate means that it is most appropriate to estimate shallow nodes in the sarbecovirus evolutionary history. Annu Rev. (2020) with additional (and higher quality) snake coding sequence data and several miscellaneous eukaryotes with low genomic GC content failed to find any meaningful clustering of the SARS-CoV-2 with snake genomes (a). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent for the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic that has affected more than 35 million people and caused .

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. However, for several reasons, nucleotide sequences may be generated that cover only the spike gene of SARS-CoV-2. All custom code used in the manuscript is available at https://github.com/plemey/SARSCoV2origins. Nature 503, 535538 (2013). It performs: K-mer based detection Map/align, variant calling Consensus sequence generation Lineage/clade analysis using Pangolin and NextClade Access the DRAGEN COVID Lineage App on BaseSpace Sequence Hub Conducting analogous analyses of codon usage bias as Ji et al. The presence in pangolins of an RBD very similar to that of SARS-CoV-2 means that we can infer this was also probably in the virus that jumped to humans. Collectively our analyses point to bats being the primary reservoir for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage. 4), but also by markedly different evolutionary rates. In other words, a true breakpoint is less likely to be called as such (this is breakpoint-conservative), and thus the construction of a non-recombining region may contain true recombination breakpoints (with insufficient evidence to call them as such). In this study, we report the case of a child with severe combined immu presenting a prolonged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. All four of these breakpoints were also identified with the tree-based recombination detection method GARD35. Evol. J. Virol. 35, 247251 (2018). It is clear from our analysis that viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2 have been circulating in horseshoe bats for many decades. To estimate non-synonymous over synonymous rate ratios for the concatenated coding genes, we used the empirical Bayes Renaissance countingprocedure67. It is RaTG13 that is more divergent in the variable-loop region (Extended Data Fig. Graham, R. L. & Baric, R. S. Recombination, reservoirs, and the modular spike: mechanisms of coronavirus cross-species transmission. Phylogenies of subregions of NRR1 depict an appreciable degree of spatial structuring of the bat sarbecovirus population across different regions (Fig. a, Breakpoints identified by 3SEQ illustrated by percentage of sequences (out of 68) that support a particular breakpoint position.

While pangolins could be acting as intermediate hosts for bat viruses to get into humansthey develop severe respiratory disease38 and commonly come into contact with people through traffickingthere is no evidence that pangolin infection is a requirement for bat viruses to cross into humans. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Global epidemiology of bat coronaviruses. Virus Evol. & Li, X. Crossspecies transmission of the newly identified coronavirus 2019nCoV. 26, 450452 (2020). The consistency of the posterior rates for the different prior means also implies that the data do contribute to the evolutionary rate estimate, despite the fact that a temporal signal was visually not apparent (Extended Data Fig. Decimal years are shown on the x axis for the 1.2 years of SARS sampling in c. d, Mean evolutionary rate estimates plotted against sampling time range for the same three datasets (represented by the same colour as the data points in their respective RtT divergence plots), as well as for the comparable NRA3 using the two different priors for the rate in the Bayesian inference (red points). Publishers note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Extensive diversity of coronaviruses in bats from China. These differences reflect the fact that rate estimates can vary considerably with the timescale of measurement, a frequently observed phenomenon in viruses known as time-dependent evolutionary rates41,43,44. Mol. Nature 583, 282285 (2020). Curr. It is available as a command line tool and a web application.

As of December 2, 2021, SJdRP, a medium-sized city in the Northwest region of So Paulo state, Brazil (Fig. 4). While there is involvement of other mammalian speciesspecifically pangolins for SARS-CoV-2as a plausible conduit for transmission to humans, there is no evidence that pangolins are facilitating adaptation to humans. The virus then. This is not surprising for diverse viral populations with relatively deep evolutionary histories. As a proxy, it would be possible to model the long-term purifying selection dynamics as a major source of time-dependent rates43,44,52, but this is beyond the scope of the current study. CNN . 2, vew007 (2016). Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus.

Evolutionary origins of the SARS-CoV-2 sarbecovirus lineage responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-020-0771-4. MERS-CoV data were subsampled to match sample sizes with SARS-CoV and HCoV-OC43. This underscores the need for a global network of real-time human disease surveillance systems, such as that which identified the unusual cluster of pneumonia in Wuhan in December 2019, with the capacity to rapidly deploy genomic tools and functional studies for pathogen identification and characterization. Med. Nucleotide positions for phylogenetic inference are 147695, 9621,686 (first tree), 3,6259,150 (second tree, also BFR B), 9,26111,795 (third tree, also BFR C), 12,44319,638 (fourth tree) and 23,63124,633, 24,79525,847, 27,70228,843 and 29,57430,650 (fifth tree). The genetic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 (bottom) demonstrate that their relationship is consistent across all regions except for the variable loop. obtained the genome sequences of 10 SARS-CoV-2 virus strains through nanopore sequencing of nasopharyngeal swabs in Malta and analyzed the assembled genome with pangolin software, and the results showed that these virus strains were assigned to B.1 lineage, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 was widely spread in Europe (Biazzo et al., 2021). Among the 68sequences in the aligned sarbecovirus sequence set, 67 show evidence of mosaicism (all DunnSidak-corrected P<4104 and 3SEQ14), indicating involvement in homologous recombination either directly with identifiable parentals or in their deeper shared evolutionary historythat is, due to shared ancestral recombination events. Evol. It allows a user to assign a SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence the most likely lineage (Pango lineage) to SARS-CoV-2 query sequences. 30, 21962203 (2020). Bryant, D. & Moulton, V. Neighbor-Net: an agglomerative method for the construction of phylogenetic networks. The fact that they are geographically relatively distant is in agreement with their somewhat distant TMRCA, because the spatial structure suggests that migration between their locations may be uncommon. Wong, A. C. P., Li, X., Lau, S. K. P. & Woo, P. C. Y. J. Virol. By mid-January 2020, the virus was spreading widely within Hubei province and by early March SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic8. & Bedford, T. MERS-CoV spillover at the camelhuman interface. 1) and thus likely to be the product of recombination, acquiring a divergent variable loop from a hitherto unsampled bat sarbecovirus28. SARS-CoV-2 itself is not a recombinant of any sarbecoviruses detected to date, and its receptor-binding motif, important for specificity to human ACE2 receptors, appears to be an ancestral trait shared with bat viruses and not one acquired recently via recombination. To avoid artefacts due to recombination, we focused on NRR1 and NRR2 and the recombination-masked alignment NRA3 to infer time-measured evolutionary histories.

Receptor recognition by the novel Coronavirus from Wuhan: an analysis based on decade-long structural studies of SARS coronavirus. RegionB is 5,525nt long. This long divergence period suggests there are unsampled virus lineages circulating in horseshoe bats that have zoonotic potential due to the ancestral position of the human-adapted contact residues in the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. 1c). Complete genome sequence data were downloaded from GenBank and ViPR; accession numbers of all 68sequences are available in Supplementary Table 4.

Consistent with this, we estimate a concomitantly decreasing non-synonymous-to-synonymous substitution rate ratio over longer evolutionary timescales: 1.41 (1.20,1.68), 0.35 (0.30,0.41) and 0.133 (0.129,0.136) for SARS, MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43, respectively. A deep dive into the genetics of the novel coronavirus shows it seems to have spent some time infecting both bats and pangolins before it jumped into humans, researchers said . The most parsimonious explanation for these shared ACE2-specific residues is that they were present in the common ancestors of SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13 and Pangolin Guangdong 2019, and were lost through recombination in the lineage leading to RaTG13. The estimated divergence times for the pangolin virus most closely related to the SARS-CoV-2/RaTG13 lineage range from 1851 (1730-1958) to 1877 (1746-1986), indicating that these pangolin . Discovery and genetic analysis of novel coronaviruses in least horseshoe bats in southwestern China. At present, we analyzed the diversity of SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes in India to know the evolutionary patterns of viruses in the country through their pangolin lineage and GISAID-Clade. B., Weaver, S. & Sergei, L. Evidence of significant natural selection in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in bats, not humans. In addition, sequences NC_014470 (Bulgaria 2008), CoVZXC21, CoVZC45 and DQ412042 (Hubei-Yichang) needed to be removed to maintain a clean non-recombinant signal in A. =0.00025. T.T.-Y.L. Biol. This boundary appears to be rarely crossed. When viewing the last 7kb of the genome, a clade of viruses from northern China appears to cluster with sequences from southern Chinese provinces but, when inspecting trees from different parts of ORF1ab, the N.

We demonstrate that the sarbecoviruses circulating in horseshoe bats have complex recombination histories as reported by others15,20,21,22,23,24,25,26. Bayesian evaluation of temporal signal in measurably evolving populations. 92, 433440 (2020). This statement informs us of the possibility that a virus has spilled over from a very rare and shy reptile-looking mammal . NTD, N-terminal domain; CTD, C-terminal domain. The rate of genome generation is unprecedented, yet there is currently no coherent nor accepted scheme for naming the expanding . is funded by the MRC (no. Calibration of priors can be performed using other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43), but estimated rates vary with the timescale of sample collection. A phylogenetic treeusing RAxML v8.2.8 (ref. Split diversity in constrained conservation prioritization using integer linear programming. A., Filip, I., AlQuraishi, M. & Rabadan, R. Recombination and lineage-specific mutations led to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. The new paper finds that the genetic sequences of several strains of coronavirus found in pangolins were between 88.5 percent and 92.4 percent similar to those of the novel coronavirus. The plots are based on maximum likelihood tree reconstructions with a root position that maximises the residual mean squared for the regression of root-to-tip divergence and sampling time. Current sampling of pangolins does not implicate them as an intermediate host. First, we took an approach that relies on identification of mosaic regions (via 3SEQ14 v.1.7) that are also supported by PI signals19. Region A has been shortened to A (5,017nt) based on potential recombination signals within the region. Ge, X. et al. Google Scholar. The construction of NRR1 is the most conservative as it is least likely to contain any remaining recombination signals. We use three bioinformatic approaches to remove the effects of recombination, and we combine these approaches to identify putative non-recombinant regions that can be used for reliable phylogenetic reconstruction and dating. We find that the sarbecovirusesthe viral subgenus containing SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2undergo frequent recombination and exhibit spatially structured genetic diversity on a regional scale in China. Rev. Two other bat viruses (CoVZXC21 and CoVZC45) from Zhejiang Province fall on this lineage as recombinants of the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage and the clade of Hong Kong bat viruses sampled between 2005 and 2007 (Fig. 13, e1006698 (2017). These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. Virology 507, 110 (2017). Because the SARS-CoV-2 S protein has been implicated in past recombination events or possibly convergent evolution12, we specifically investigated several subregions of the Sproteinthe N-terminal domain of S1, the C-terminal domain of S1, the variable-loop region of the C-terminal domain, and S2. The histogram allows for the identification of non-recombining regions (NRRs) by revealing regions with no breakpoints.

Furthermore, the other key feature thought to be instrumental in the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect humansa polybasic cleavage site insertion in the Sproteinhas not yet been seen in another close bat relative of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Its genome is closest to that of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronaviruses from horseshoe bats, and its receptor-binding domain is closest to that of pangolin viruses. The inset represents divergence time estimates based on NRR1, NRR2 and NRA3. 53), this is inferred to have occurred before the divergence of RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 and thus should not influence our inferences.

Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. 21, 15081514 (2015). This is evidence for numerous recombination events occurring in the evolutionary history of the sarbecoviruses22,33; specifying all past events in their correct temporal order34 is challenging and not shown here. The pangolin coronaviruses show lower similarity to SARS-CoV-2 than bat coronavirus RaTG13 across the whole genome, but higher similarity in the spike receptor binding domain, although the similarity at either scale remains too low to implicate . Given what was known about the origins of SARS, as well as identification of SARS-like viruses circulating in bats that had binding sites adapted to human receptors29,30,31, appropriate measures should have been in place for immediate control of outbreaks of novel coronaviruses. Virus Evol. Researchers in the UK had just set the scientific world . A hypothesis of snakes as intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 was posited during the early epidemic phase54, but we found no evidence of this55,56; see Extended Data Fig. The estimated divergence times for the pangolin virus most closely related to the SARS-CoV-2/RaTG13 lineage range from 1851 (17301958) to 1877 (17461986), indicating that these pangolin lineages were acquired from bat viruses divergent to those that gave rise to SARS-CoV-2. In this approach, we considered a breakpoint as supported only if it had three types of statistical support: from (1) mosaic signals identified by 3SEQ, (2) PI signals identified by building trees around 3SEQs breakpoints and (3) the GARD algorithm35, which identifies breakpoints by identifying PI signals across proposed breakpoints.

For the current pandemic, the novel pathogen identification component of outbreak response delivered on its promise, with viral identification and rapid genomic analysis providing a genome sequence and confirmation, within weeks, that the December 2019 outbreak first detected in Wuhan, China was caused by a coronavirus3. While such models have recently been made available, we lack the information to calibrate the rate decline over time (for example, through internal node calibrations44). Regions AC were further examined for mosaic signals by 3SEQ, and all showed signs of mosaicism. Get the most important science stories of the day, free in your inbox. Uncertainty measures are shown in Extended Data Fig. BFRs were concatenated if no phylogenetic incongruence signal could be identified between them. Of importance for future spillover events is the appreciation that SARS-CoV-2 has emerged from the same horseshoe bat subgenus that harbours SARS-like coronaviruses. Evidence of the recombinant origin of a bat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus and its implications on the direct ancestor of SARS coronavirus. Nat. This is notable because the variable-loop region contains the six key contact residues in the RBD that give SARS-CoV-2 its ACE2-binding specificity27,37.
