However, the coronavirus isolated from pangolin is similar at 99% in a specific region of the S protein, which corresponds to the 74 amino acids involved in the ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme . Open reading frames are shown above the breakpoint plot, with the variable-loop region indicated in the Sprotein. Webster, R. G., Bean, W. J., Gorman, O. T., Chambers, T. M. & Kawaoka, Y. Evolution and ecology of influenza A viruses. To employ phylogenetic dating methods, recombinant regions of a 68-genome sarbecovirus alignment were removed with three independent methods. Except for specifying that sequences are linear, all settings were kept to their defaults. These authors contributed equally: Maciej F. Boni, Philippe Lemey. 56, 152179 (1992). 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. This produced non-recombining alignment NRA3, which included 63 of the 68genomes. [12] SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 are also exceptions because they were sampled from Hubei and Yunnan, respectively. Global epidemiology of bat coronaviruses. 92, 433440 (2020). D.L.R. Lemey, P., Minin, V. N., Bielejec, F., Pond, S. L. K. & Suchard, M. A. 4 we compare these divergence time estimates to those obtained using the MERS-CoV-centred rate priors for NRR1, NRR2 and NRA3. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. All four of these breakpoints were also identified with the tree-based recombination detection method GARD35. The histogram allows for the identification of non-recombining regions (NRRs) by revealing regions with no breakpoints.

There are outstanding evolutionary questions on the recent emergence of human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 including the role of reservoir species, the role of recombination and its time of divergence from animal viruses. 3 Priors and posteriors for evolutionary rate of SARS-CoV-2. Google Scholar. 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. 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.

These datasets were subjected to the same recombination masking approach as NRA3 and were characterized by a strong temporal signal (Fig. & Bedford, T. MERS-CoV spillover at the camelhuman interface. One study suggests that over a century ago, one lineage of coronavirus circulating in bats gave rise to SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13 and a Pangolin coronavirus known as Pangolin-2019, Live Science .

Sibling lineages to RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 include a pangolin sequence sampled in Guangdong Province in March 2019 and a clade of pangolin sequences from Guangxi Province sampled in 2017. 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. Note that breakpoints can be shared between sequences if they are descendants of the same recombination events. 2, bottom) show that SARS-CoV-2 is unlikely to have acquired the variable loop from an ancestor of Pangolin-2019 because these two sequences are approximately 1015% divergent throughout the entire Sprotein (excluding the N-terminal domain).

Epidemiology, genetic recombination, and pathogenesis of coronaviruses. We call this approach breakpoint-conservative, but note that this has the opposite effect to the construction of NRR1 in that this approach is the most likely to allow breakpoints to remain inside putative non-recombining regions. Rev. 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. The divergence time estimates for SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV from their respective most closely related bat lineages are reasonably consistent among the three approaches we use to eliminate the effects of recombination in the alignment. 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. 2 Lack of root-to-tip temporal signal in SARS-CoV-2. from the European Research Council under the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no.

Conducting analogous analyses of codon usage bias as Ji et al. Mol. 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. Visual exploration using TempEst39 indicates that there is no evidence for temporal signal in these datasets (Extended Data Fig. Collectively our analyses point to bats being the primary reservoir for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage. 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). Complete genome sequence data were downloaded from GenBank and ViPR; accession numbers of all 68sequences are available in Supplementary Table 4.

To evaluate the performance procedure, we confirmed that the recombination masking resulted in (1) a markedly different outcome of the PHI test64, (2) removal of well-supported (bootstrap value >95%) incompatible splits in Neighbor-Net65 and (3) a near-complete reduction of mosaic signal as identified by 3SEQ. Humans' selfish, speciesist treatment of these animals could be the very reason why the novel coronavirus exists. Another similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is their divergence time (4070years ago) from currently known extant bat virus lineages (Fig. Despite the high frequency of recombination among bat viruses, the block-like nature of the recombination patterns across the genome permits retrieval of a clean subalignment for phylogenetic analysis. 110.

The research leading to these results received funding (to A.R. A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence. Grey tips correspond to bat viruses, green to pangolin, blue to SARS-CoV and red to SARS-CoV-2. 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).

Evidence of significant natural selection in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in bats, not humans. Because coronaviruses are known to be highly recombinant, we used three different approaches to identify non-recombinant regions for use in our Bayesian time-calibrated phylogenetic inference. The Pango dynamic nomenclature is a popular system for classifying and naming genetically-distinct lineages of SARS-CoV-2, including variants of concern, and is based on the analysis of complete or near-complete virus genomes.

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. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry (2023), Nature Microbiology (Nat Microbiol) Divergence dates between SARS-CoV-2 and the bat sarbecovirus reservoir were estimated as 1948 (95% highest posterior density (HPD): 18791999), 1969 (95% HPD: 19302000) and 1982 (95% HPD: 19482009), indicating that the lineage giving rise to SARS-CoV-2 has been circulating unnoticed in bats for decades. Zhou et al.2 concluded from the genetic proximity of SARS-CoV-2 to RaTG13 that a bat origin for the current COVID-19 outbreak is probable. However, for several reasons, nucleotide sequences may be generated that cover only the spike gene of SARS-CoV-2. After removal of A1 and A4, we named the new region A. 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. 53), this is inferred to have occurred before the divergence of RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 and thus should not influence our inferences. 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. The coverage threshold and consensus sequence generation threshold were set to 20 and 90 respectively. ac, Root-to-tip (RtT) divergence as a function of sampling time for the three coronavirus evolutionary histories unfolding over different timescales (HCoV-OC43 (n=37; a) MERS (n=35; b) and SARS (n=69; c)). Viruses 11, 174 (2019). Because the estimated rates and divergence dates were highly similar in the three datasets analysed, we conclude that our estimates are robust to the method of identifying a genomes NRRs. In our analyses of the sarbecovirus datasets, we incorporated the uncertainty of the sampling dates when exact dates were not available. 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 . The genetic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and Pangolin Guangdong 2019 are consistent across all regions except the N-terminal domain, implying that a recombination event between these two sequences in this region is unlikely. Five example sequences with incongruent phylogenetic positions in the two trees are indicated by dashed lines. SARS-like WIV1-CoV poised for human emergence. Given that these pangolin viruses are ancestral to the progenitor of the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage, it is more likely that they are also acquiring viruses from bats.
