It allows a user to assign a SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence the most likely lineage (Pango lineage) to SARS-CoV-2 query sequences. performed codon usage analysis. CAS In this study, we report the case of a child with severe combined immu presenting a prolonged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Python 379 102 pangoLEARN Public Store of the trained model for pangolin to access. 36, 7597 (2002). It is clear from our analysis that viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2 have been circulating in horseshoe bats for many decades. Identification of diverse alphacoronaviruses and genomic characterization of a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-like coronavirus from bats in China. A single 3SEQ run on the genome alignment resulted in 67 out of 68sequences supporting some recombination in the past, with multiple candidate breakpoint ranges listed for each putative recombinant. eLife 7, e31257 (2018). Nat. Five example sequences with incongruent phylogenetic positions in the two trees are indicated by dashed lines. Trova, S. et al. The existing diversity and dynamic process of recombination amongst lineages in the bat reservoir demonstrate how difficult it will be to identify viruses with potential to cause major human outbreaks before they emerge. 4), but also by markedly different evolutionary rates. Extensive diversity of coronaviruses in bats from China. We say that this approach is conservative because sequences and subregions generating recombination signals have been removed, and BFRs were concatenated only when no PI signals could be detected between them. RegionB is 5,525nt long. However, on closer inspection, the relative divergences in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. Softw. In the absence of a strong temporal signal, we sought to identify a suitable prior rate distribution to calibrate the time-measured trees by examining several coronaviruses sampled over time, including HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV virus genomes. Using these breakpoints, the longest putative non-recombining segment (nt1,88521,753) is 9.9kb long, and we call this region NRR2. Add entries for pangolin-data/-assignment 1.18.1.1 (, Really add a document on testing strategy. & Holmes, E. C. A genomic perspective on the origin and emergence of SARS-CoV-2. The difficulty in inferring reliable evolutionary histories for coronaviruses is that their high recombination rate48,49 violates the assumption of standard phylogenetic approaches because different parts of the genome have different histories. For the HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV and SARS datasets we specified flexible skygrid coalescent tree priors. Evol. Bayesian evolutionary rate and divergence date estimates were shown to be consistent for these three approaches and for two different prior specifications of evolutionary rates based on HCoV-OC43 and MERS-CoV. Lam, H. M., Ratmann, O. Figure 1 (top) shows the distribution of all identified breakpoints (using 3SEQs exhaustive triplet search) by the number of candidate recombinant sequences supporting them. Current sampling of pangolins does not implicate them as an intermediate host. Because 3SEQ identified ten BFRs >500nt, we used GARDs (v.2.5.0) inference on 10, 11 and 12 breakpoints. In case of DRAGEN COVID Lineage tool, the minimum accepted alignment score was set to 22 and results with scores <22 were discarded. The S1 protein of Pangolin-CoV is much more closely related to SARS-CoV-2 than to RaTG13. SARS-CoV-2 is an appropriate name for the new coronavirus. According to GISAID . USA 113, 30483053 (2016). 35, 247251 (2018). Further information on research design is available in the Nature Research Reporting Summary linked to this article. Sci. We used TreeAnnotator to summarize posterior tree distributions and annotated the estimated values to a maximum clade credibility tree, which was visualized using FigTree. Evol. Another similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is their divergence time (4070years ago) from currently known extant bat virus lineages (Fig. We extracted a similar number (n=35) of genomes from a MERS-CoV dataset analysed by Dudas et al.59 using the phylogenetic diversity analyser tool60 (v.0.5). Posterior distributions were approximated through Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, which were run sufficiently long to ensure effective sampling sizes >100. Martin, D. P., Murrell, B., Golden, M., Khoosal, A. 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. Proc. The species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus: classifying 2019-nCoV and naming it SARS-CoV-2. 1. 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. a, Breakpoints identified by 3SEQ illustrated by percentage of sequences (out of 68) that support a particular breakpoint position. D.L.R. 36)gives a putative recombination-free alignment that we call non-recombinant alignment3 (NRA3) (see Methods). While there is evidence of positive selection in the sarbecovirus lineage leading to RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 (ref. Due to the absence of temporal signal in the sarbecovirus datasets, we used informative prior distributions on the evolutionary rate to estimate divergence dates. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. Holmes, E. C., Rambaut, A. Posterior rate distributions for MERS-CoV (far left) and HCoV-OC43 (far right) using BEAST on n=27 sequences spread over 4 years (MERS-CoV) and n=27 sequences spread over 49 years (HCoV-OC43). Robertson, D. nCoVs relationship to bat coronaviruses & recombination signals (no snakes) no evidence the 2019-nCoV lineage is recombinant. Scientists trying to trace the ancestry of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, have found the pangolin is unlikely to be the source of the virus responsible for the current pandemic. July 26, 2021. These means are based on the mean rates estimated for MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43, respectively, while the standard deviations are set ten times higher than empirical values to allow greater prior uncertainty and avoid strong bias (Extended Data Fig. Visual exploration using TempEst39 indicates that there is no evidence for temporal signal in these datasets (Extended Data Fig. Published. Wang, H., Pipes, L. & Nielsen, R. Synonymous mutations and the molecular evolution of SARS-Cov-2 origins. To avoid artefacts due to recombination, we focused on NRR1 and NRR2 and the recombination-masked alignment NRA3 to infer time-measured evolutionary histories. 4 TMRCAs for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. 30, 21962203 (2020). To estimate non-synonymous over synonymous rate ratios for the concatenated coding genes, we used the empirical Bayes Renaissance countingprocedure67. Pangolin was developed to implement the dynamic nomenclature of SARS-CoV-2 lineages, known as the Pango nomenclature. 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. 16, e1008421 (2020). Relevant bootstrap values are shown on branches, and grey-shaded regions show sequences exhibiting phylogenetic incongruence along the genome. Using a third consensus-based approach for identifying recombinant regions in individual sequenceswith six different recombination detection methods in RDP5 (ref. Gorbalenya, A. E. et al. Pangolin-CoV is 91.02% and 90.55% identical to SARS-CoV-2 and BatCoV RaTG13, respectively, at the whole-genome level. However, inconsistency in the nomenclature limits uniformity in its epidemiological understanding. Press, H.) 3964 (Springer, 2009). The web application was developed by the Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance. We considered (1) the possibility that BFRs could be combined into larger non-recombinant regions and (2) the possibility of further recombination within each BFR. Avian influenza a virus (H7N7) epidemic in The Netherlands in 2003: course of the epidemic and effectiveness of control measures. Boxes show 95% HPD credible intervals. Nat. 82, 18191826 (2008). Hon, C. et al. Syst. Temporal signal was tested using a recently developed marginal likelihood estimation procedure41 (Supplementary Table 1). Early transmission dynamics in Wuhan, China, of novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia. Proc. Because there is no single accepted method of inferring breakpoints and identifying clean subregions with high certainty, we implemented several approaches to identifying three classic statistical signals of recombination: mosaicism, phylogenetic incongruence and excessive homoplasy51. Biol. The ongoing pandemic spread of a new human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which is associated with severe pneumonia/disease (COVID-19), has resulted in the generation of tens of thousands of virus genome sequences. 2a. The canine viral genome was excluded from the Bayesian phylogenetic analyses because temporal signal analyses (see below) indicated that it was an outlier. Specifically, progenitors of the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage appear to have recombined with the Hong Kong clade (with inferred breakpoints at 11.9 and 20.8kb) to form the CoVZXC21/CoVZC45-lineage. Except for specifying that sequences are linear, all settings were kept to their defaults. J. Virol. Here, we analyse the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2 using available genomic data on sarbecoviruses. 04:20. PANGOLIN lineage database (15, 16) was used to analyze the frequency of lineages among countries. Evol. These datasets were subjected to the same recombination masking approach as NRA3 and were characterized by a strong temporal signal (Fig. Alternatively, combining 3SEQ-inferred breakpoints, GARD-inferred breakpoints and the necessity of PI signals for inferring recombination, we can use the 9.9-kb region spanning nucleotides 11,88521,753 (NRR2) as a putative non-recombining region; this approach is breakpoint-conservative because it is conservative in identifying breakpoints but not conservative in identifying non-recombining regions. Since the release of Version 2.0 in July 2020, however, it has used the 'pangoLEARN' machine-learning-based assignment algorithm to assign lineages to new SARS-CoV-2 genomes. J. Virol.

CAS 725422-ReservoirDOCS). Phylogenetic trees and exact breakpoints for all ten BFRs are shown in Supplementary Figs. Divergence time estimates based on the HCoV-OC43-centred rate prior for the separate BFRs (Supplementary Table 3) show consistency in TMRCA estimates across the genome. Unfortunately, a response that would achieve containment was not possible. Regions AC were further examined for mosaic signals by 3SEQ, and all showed signs of mosaicism. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Patino-Galindo, J. 53), this is inferred to have occurred before the divergence of RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 and thus should not influence our inferences. 5. is funded by the MRC (no. The genetic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 (bottom) demonstrate that their relationship is consistent across all regions except for the variable loop. Trends Microbiol. 68, 10521061 (2019). 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. Publishers note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. But some theories suggest that pangolins may be the source of the novel coronavirus. Li, Q. et al. A distinct name is needed for the new coronavirus. Phylogenies of subregions of NRR1 depict an appreciable degree of spatial structuring of the bat sarbecovirus population across different regions (Fig. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaa163 (2020).

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 . RegionsAC had similar phylogenetic relationships among the southern China bat viruses (Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces), the Hong Kong viruses, northern Chinese viruses (Jilin, Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces, including Shaanxi), pangolin viruses and the SARS-CoV-2 lineage. PubMed wrote the first draft of the manuscript, and all authors contributed to manuscript editing. 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. A reduced sequence set of 25sequences chosen to capture the breadth of diversity in the sarbecoviruses (obvious recombinants not involving the SARS-CoV-2 lineage were also excluded) was used because GARD is computationally intensive. However, formal testing using marginal likelihood estimation41 does provide some evidence of a temporal signal, albeit with limited log Bayes factor support of 3 (NRR1), 10 (NRR2) and 3 (NRA3); see Supplementary Table 1.

Because these subclades had different phylogenetic relationships in regionD (Supplementary Fig. Of the nine breakpoints defining these ten BFRs, four showed phylogenetic incongruence (PI) signals with bootstrap support >80%, adopting previously published criteria on using a combination of mosaic and PI signals to show evidence of past recombination events19. Indeed, the rates reported by these studies are in line with the short-term SARS rates that we estimate (Fig. 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. Next, we (1) collected all breakpoints into a single set, (2) complemented this set to generate a set of non-breakpoints, (3) grouped non-breakpoints into contiguous BFRs and (4) sorted these regions by length. All three approaches to removal of recombinant genomic segments point to a single ancestral lineage for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. 62,63), the GTR+ model and 100bootstrap replicateswas inferred for each BFR >500nt. 23, 18911901 (2006). Zhou, P. et al. PubMed Grey tips correspond to bat viruses, green to pangolin, blue to SARS-CoV and red to SARS-CoV-2. 6, eabb9153 (2020). Note that six of these sequences fall under the terms of use of the GISAID platform. Humans' selfish, speciesist treatment of these animals could be the very reason why the novel coronavirus exists. (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). 4), that region and shorter BFRs were not included in combined putative non-recombinant regions.

Extended Data Fig. Individual sequences such as RpShaanxi2011, Guangxi GX2013 and two sequences from Zhejiang Province (CoVZXC21/CoVZC45), as previously shown22,25, have strong phylogenetic recombination signals because they fall on different evolutionary lineages (with bootstrap support >80%) depending on what region of the genome is being examined. Microbiol. Using the most conservative approach (NRR1), the divergence time estimate for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 is 1969 (95% HPD: 19302000), while that between SARS-CoV and its most closely related bat sequence is 1962 (95% HPD: 19321988); see Fig. Sliding window analysis of changes in the patterns of sequence similarity between human SARS-CoV-2, and pangolin and bat coronaviruses as described further in Fig. On first examination this would suggest that that SARS-CoV-2 is a recombinant of an ancestor of Pangolin-2019 and RaTG13, as proposed by others11,22. c, Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees rooted on a 2007 virus sampled in Kenya (BtKy72; root truncated from images), shown for five BFRs of the sarbecovirus alignment. Genet. Boni, M.F., Lemey, P., Jiang, X. et al. 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. 2). Time-measured phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using a Bayesian approach implemented in BEAST42 v.1.10.4. Nguyen, L.-T., Schmidt, H. A., Von Haeseler, A. and X.J. 1) and thus likely to be the product of recombination, acquiring a divergent variable loop from a hitherto unsampled bat sarbecovirus28. 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. 3) to examine the sensitivity of date estimates to this prior specification. These authors contributed equally: Maciej F. Boni, Philippe Lemey. 90, 71847195 (2016). Pink, green and orange bars show BFRs, with regionA (nt 13,29119,628) showing two trimmed segments yielding regionA (nt13,29114,932, 15,40517,162, 18,00919,628). 32, 268274 (2014). There is a 90% DNA match between SARS CoV 2 and a coronavirus in pangolins. The fact that these estimates lie between the rates for MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43 is consistent with the intermediate sampling time range of about 18years (Fig. We focused on these three non-recombining regions/alignments for divergence time estimation; this avoids inappropriate modelling of evolutionary processes with recombination on strictly bifurcating trees, which can result in different artefacts such as homoplasies that inflate branch lengths and lead to apparently longer evolutionary divergence times. Google Scholar. Several of the recombinant sequences in these trees show that recombination events do occur across geographically divergent clades. 1, vev003 (2015). Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate the slides or the slide controller buttons at the end to navigate through each slide. Global epidemiology of bat coronaviruses. Trends Microbiol. Li, X. et al. 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. 27) receptors and its RBD being genetically closer to a pangolin virus than to RaTG13 (refs. Mol. 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. This provides compelling support for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage being the consequence of a direct or nearly-direct zoonotic jump from bats, because the key ACE2-binding residues were present in viruses circulating in bats.

It is available as a command line tool and a web application. To gauge the length of time this lineage has circulated in bats, we estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. Researchers in the UK had just set the scientific world . Evol. Open reading frames are shown above the breakpoint plot, with the variable-loop region indicated in the Sprotein. 3). Genetics 176, 10351047 (2007). Sequence similarity. Evol. While it is possible that pangolins, or another hitherto undiscovered species, may have acted as an intermediate host facilitating transmission to humans, current evidence is consistent with the virus having evolved in bats resulting in bat sarbecoviruses that can replicate in the upper respiratory tract of both humans and pangolins25,32. Emerg. 5, 536544 (2020). A third approach attempted to minimize the number of regions removed while also minimizing signals of mosaicism and homoplasy. 1 Phylogenetic relationships in the C-terminal domain (CTD). One geographic clade includes viruses from provinces in southern China (Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong), with its major sister clade consisting of viruses from provinces in northern China (Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and Jilin) as well as Hubei Province in central China and Shaanxi Province in northwestern China. Article SARS-like WIV1-CoV poised for human emergence. We demonstrate that the sarbecoviruses circulating in horseshoe bats have complex recombination histories as reported by others15,20,21,22,23,24,25,26.

Specifically, we used a combination of six methods implemented in v.5.5 of RDP5 (ref. Curr. These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. Means and 95% HPD intervals are 0.080 [0.0580.101] and 0.530 [0.3040.780] for the patristic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 (green) and 0.143 [0.1090.180] and 0.154 [0.0930.231] for the patristic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and Pangolin 2019 (orange). Removal of five sequences that appear to be recombinants and two small subregions of BFRA was necessary to ensure that there were no phylogenetic incongruence signals among or within the three BFRs. 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.

Isolation and characterization of a bat SARS-like coronavirus that uses the ACE2 receptor. Dis. The presence of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in Malayan pangolins, in silico analysis of the ACE2 receptor polymorphism and sequence similarities between the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the spike proteins of pangolin and human Sarbecoviruses led to the proposal of pangolin as intermediary. 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). All four of these breakpoints were also identified with the tree-based recombination detection method GARD35. A., Filip, I., AlQuraishi, M. & Rabadan, R. Recombination and lineage-specific mutations led to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.
