Are you sure you want to create this branch? However, inconsistency in the nomenclature limits uniformity in its epidemiological understanding. 5. Current Overview on Disease and Health Research Vol. 6 Su, S. et al. 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. 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. 2). PubMed Virus Evol. Lancet 383, 541548 (2013). 1, vev016 (2015). Over relatively shallow timescales, such differences can primarily be explained by varying selective pressure, with mildly deleterious variants being eliminated more strongly by purifying selection over longer timescales44,45,46. 21, 255265 (2004). To examine temporal signal in the sequenced data, we plotted root-to-tip divergence against sampling time using TempEst39 v.1.5.3 based on a maximum likelihood tree. 2 Lack of root-to-tip temporal signal in SARS-CoV-2. Rambaut, A., Lam, T. T., Carvalho, L. M. & Pybus, O. G. Exploring the temporal structure of heterochronous sequences using TempEst (formerly Path-O-Gen). 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. Using both prior distributions, this results in six highly similar posterior rate estimates for NRR1, NRR2 and NRA3, centred around 0.00055 substitutions per siteyr1.

L., Posada, D., Gravenor, M. B., Woelk, C. H. & Frost, S. D. W. Automated phylogenetic detection of recombination using a genetic algorithm. RegionB showed no PI signals within the region, except one including sequence SC2018 (Sichuan), and thus this sequence was also removed from the set. A., Lytras, S., Singer, J. Wong, A. C. P., Li, X., Lau, S. K. P. & Woo, P. C. Y. Bryant, D. & Moulton, V. Neighbor-Net: an agglomerative method for the construction of phylogenetic networks. Global epidemiology of bat coronaviruses.

Receptor recognition by the novel Coronavirus from Wuhan: an analysis based on decade-long structural studies of SARS coronavirus. Five example sequences with incongruent phylogenetic positions in the two trees are indicated by dashed lines. 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. Time-measured phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using a Bayesian approach implemented in BEAST42 v.1.10.4. Gray inset shows majority rule consensus trees with mean posterior branch lengths for the two regions, with posterior probabilities on the key nodes showing the relationships among SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13, and Pangolin 2019. We compiled a set of 69SARS-CoV genomes including 58 sampled from humans and 11 sampled from civets and raccoon dogs. Root-to-tip divergence as a function of sampling time for non-recombinant regions NRR1 and NRR2 and recombination-masked alignment set NRA3. Curr. Holmes, E. C., Dudas, G., Rambaut, A. In our second stage, we wanted to construct non-recombinant regions where our approach to breakpoint identification was as conservative as possible. BFRs were concatenated if no phylogenetic incongruence signal could be identified between them. Abstract. This is not surprising for diverse viral populations with relatively deep evolutionary histories. 36)gives a putative recombination-free alignment that we call non-recombinant alignment3 (NRA3) (see Methods). Phylogenetic Assignment of Named Global Outbreak Lineages It allows a user to assign a SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence the most likely lineage (Pango lineage) to SARS-CoV-2 query sequences. Of the countries that have contributed SARS-CoV-2 data, 30% had genomes of this lineage. . Boxplots show interquartile ranges, white lines are medians and box whiskers show the full range of posterior distribution. 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). The sizes of the black internal node circles are proportional to the posterior node support. 1 Phylogenetic relationships in the C-terminal domain (CTD). The key to successful surveillance is knowing which viruses to look for and prioritizing those that can readily infect humans47. Internet Explorer). First, we took an approach that relies on identification of mosaic regions (via 3SEQ14 v.1.7) that are also supported by PI signals19. A., Filip, I., AlQuraishi, M. & Rabadan, R. Recombination and lineage-specific mutations led to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. This leaves the insertion of polybasic. We thank T. Bedford for providing M.F.B. For weather, science, and COVID-19 . Gorbalenya, A. E. et al. 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. TMRCA estimates for SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV from their respective most closely related bat lineages are reasonably consistent for the different data sets and different rate priors in our analyses. The Sichuan (SC2018) virus appears to be a recombinant of northern/central and southern viruses, while the two Zhejiang viruses (CoVZXC21 and CoVZC45) appear to carry a recombinant region from southern or central China. The rate of genome generation is unprecedented, yet there is currently no coherent nor accepted scheme for naming the expanding . Wang, H., Pipes, L. & Nielsen, R. Synonymous mutations and the molecular evolution of SARS-Cov-2 origins. & Minh, B. Q. IQ-TREE: a fast and effective stochastic algorithm for estimating maximum-likelihood phylogenies. Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Intra-Patient Viral Evolu : The 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. 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. Extended Data Fig. Meet the people who warn the world about new covid variants acknowledges support by the Research FoundationFlanders (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk OnderzoekVlaanderen (nos. Two exceptions can be seen in the relatively close relationship of Hong Kong viruses to those from Zhejiang Province (with two of the latter, CoVZC45 and CoVZXC21, identified as recombinants) and a recombinant virus from Sichuan for which part of the genome (regionB of SC2018 in Fig. 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. Collectively our analyses point to bats being the primary reservoir for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage. PubMed 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). 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). b, Similarity plot between SARS-CoV-2 and several selected sequences including RaTG13 (black), SARS-CoV (pink) and two pangolin sequences (orange). 874850). 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. 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. Viruses 11, 979 (2019). 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. 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 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. Wu, Y. et al. 91, 10581062 (2010). PLoS Pathog. We aimed to analyze 3 naso-oropharyngeal swab samples collected between August and December 2021 to describe the amino acid changes present in the sequence reads that may have a role in the emergence of new . 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. Are pangolins the intermediate host of the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)? Maciej F. Boni, Philippe Lemey, Andrew Rambaut or David L. Robertson. Lancet 395, 565574 (2020). J. Virol. 1) and thus likely to be the product of recombination, acquiring a divergent variable loop from a hitherto unsampled bat sarbecovirus28.

RDP4: Detection and analysis of recombination patterns in virus genomes. By 2009, however, rapid genomic analysis had become a routine component of outbreak response. Using a third consensus-based approach for identifying recombinant regions in individual sequenceswith six different recombination detection methods in RDP5 (ref. 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. And this genotype pattern led to creating a new Pangolin lineage named B.1.640.2, a phylogenetic sister group to the old B.1.640 lineage renamed B.1.640.1. In the variable-loop region, RaTG13 diverges considerably with the TMRCA, now outside that of SARS-CoV-2 and the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 ancestor, suggesting that RaTG13 has acquired this region from a more divergent and undetected bat lineage. Press, 2009). Biol. Sequences are colour-coded by province according to the map. Extended Data Fig. 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. Phylogenetic classification of the whole-genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 Syst.

Yuan, J. et al. Our third approach involved identifying breakpoints and masking minor recombinant regions (with gaps, which are treated as unobserved characters in probabilistic phylogenetic approaches). In Extended Data Fig. The relatively fast evolutionary rate means that it is most appropriate to estimate shallow nodes in the sarbecovirus evolutionary history. 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. Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Gamma lineage introduction and COVID-19 - Nature Article Google Scholar. 16, e1008421 (2020). Virus Evol. Due to the absence of temporal signal in the sarbecovirus datasets, we used informative prior distributions on the evolutionary rate to estimate divergence dates. Conservatively, we combined the three BFRs >2kb identified above into non-recombining region1 (NRR1). Epidemiology, genetic recombination, and pathogenesis of coronaviruses. It compares the new genome against the large, diverse population of sequenced strains using a PI signals were identified (with bootstrap support >80%) for seven of these eight breakpoints: positions 1,684, 3,046, 9,237, 11,885, 21,753, 22,773 and 24,628. All sequence data analysed in this manuscript are available at https://github.com/plemey/SARSCoV2origins. Combining regions A, B and C and removing the five named sequences gives us putative NRR1, as an alignment of 63sequences. . 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. We infer time-measured evolutionary histories using a Bayesian phylogenetic approach while incorporating rate priors based on mean MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43 rates and with standard deviations that allow for more uncertainty than the empirical estimates for both viruses (see Methods). Forni, D., Cagliani, R., Clerici, M. & Sironi, M. Molecular evolution of human coronavirus genomes. 04:20. A novel bat coronavirus closely related to SARS-CoV-2 contains natural insertions at the S1/S2 cleavage site of the Spike protein. Results and discussion Genomic surveillance has been a hallmark of the COVID-19 pandemic that, in contrast to other pandemics, achieves tracking of the virus evolution and spread worldwide almost in real-time ( 4 ). You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. 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. Nat Microbiol 5, 14081417 (2020). In the absence of any reasonable prior knowledge on the TMRCA of the sarbecovirus datasets (which is required for grid specification in a skygrid model), we specified a simpler constant size population prior. 35, 247251 (2018). Evol. Published. As illustrated by the dashed arrows, these two posteriors motivate our specification of prior distributions with standard deviations inflated 10-fold (light color). 1c). 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. Biol. 21, 15081514 (2015). Region A has been shortened to A (5,017nt) based on potential recombination signals within the region. Sequence similarity. While there is evidence of positive selection in the sarbecovirus lineage leading to RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 (ref. Posada, D., Crandall, K. A. Researchers have found that SARS-CoV-2 in humans shares about 90.3% of its genome sequence with a coronavirus found in pangolins (Cyranoski, 2020). Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 through recombination and strong purifying selection. The Artic Network receives funding from the Wellcome Trust through project no. 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. 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). M.F.B. Proc. Researchers in the UK had just set the scientific world . Note that six of these sequences fall under the terms of use of the GISAID platform. & Andersen, K. G. Pandemics: spend on surveillance, not prediction. The time-calibrated phylogeny represents a maximum clade credibility tree inferred for NRR1. 84, 31343146 (2010). Here, we analyse the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2 using available genomic data on sarbecoviruses. 5). All three approaches to removal of recombinant genomic segments point to a single ancestral lineage for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. Phylogenetic trees and exact breakpoints for all ten BFRs are shown in Supplementary Figs. and D.L.R. 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. 56, 152179 (1992). 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). Graham, R. L. & Baric, R. S. Recombination, reservoirs, and the modular spike: mechanisms of coronavirus cross-species transmission. These datasets were subjected to the same recombination masking approach as NRA3 and were characterized by a strong temporal signal (Fig. 725422-ReservoirDOCS). 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. Evol. A counting renaissance: combining stochastic mapping and empirical Bayes to quickly detect amino acid sites under positive selection. GARD identified eight breakpoints that were also within 50nt of those identified by 3SEQ. 25, 3548 (2017). 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. 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). Accurate estimation of ages for deeper nodes would require adequate accommodation of time-dependent rate variation. Nature 583, 286289 (2020).

Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Bioinformatics 22, 26882690 (2006). 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. Unlike other viruses that have emerged in the past two decades, coronaviruses are highly recombinogenic14,15,16. By mid-January 2020, the virus was spreading widely within Hubei province and by early March SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic8. Bioinformatics 30, 13121313 (2014).

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. 5 Comparisons of GC content across taxa. 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 .

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. In such cases, even moderate rate variation among long, deep phylogenetic branches will substantially impact expected root-to-tip divergences over a sampling time range that represents only a small fraction of the evolutionary history40. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. These shy, quirky but cute mammals are one of the most heavily trafficked yet least understood animals in the world. The latter was reconstructed using IQTREE66 v.2.0 under a general time-reversible (GTR) model with a discrete gamma distribution to model inter-site rate variation. =0.00025.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, pangolins have been making headlines. Natl Acad. Posterior means (horizontal bars) of patristic distances between SARS-CoV-2 and its closest bat and pangolin sequences, for the spike proteins variable loop region and CTD region excluding the variable loop. 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. 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. Lin, X. et al. The red and blue boxplots represent the divergence time estimates for SARS-CoV-2 (red) and the 2002-2003 SARS-CoV (blue) from their most closely related bat virus, with the light- and dark-colored versions based on the HCoV-OC43 and MERS-CoV centered priors, respectively. But some theories suggest that pangolins may be the source of the novel coronavirus. Aiewsakun, P. & Katzourakis, A. Time-dependent rate phenomenon in viruses. 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. Identifying SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins. 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. 31922087). CAS Using these breakpoints, the longest putative non-recombining segment (nt1,88521,753) is 9.9kb long, and we call this region NRR2. The coverage threshold and consensus sequence generation threshold were set to 20 and 90 respectively. These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. Evol. Patino-Galindo, J. 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. N. Engl. 382, 11991207 (2020). Smuggled pangolins were carrying viruses closely related to the one sweeping the world, say scientists. 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.
