Lie, P., Chen, W. & Chen, J.-P. 4 we compare these divergence time estimates to those obtained using the MERS-CoV-centred rate priors for NRR1, NRR2 and NRA3. 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 Specifically, using a formal Bayesian approach42 (see Methods), we estimate a fast evolutionary rate (0.00169 substitutions per siteyr1, 95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval (0.00131,0.00205)) for SARS viruses sampled over a limited timescale (1year), a slower rate (0.00078 (0.00063,0.00092) substitutions per siteyr1) for MERS-CoV on a timescale of about 4years and the slowest rate (0.00024 (0.00019,0.00029) substitutions per siteyr1) for HCoV-OC43 over almost five decades. In early January, the aetiological agent of the pneumonia cases was found to be a coronavirus3, subsequently named SARS-CoV-2 by an International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Study Group4 and also named hCoV-19 by Wu et al.5. 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. Our approach resulted in similar posterior rates using two different prior means, implying that the sarbecovirus data do inform the rate estimate even though a root-to-tip temporal signal was not apparent. We thank originating laboratories at South China Agricultural University (Y. Shen, L. Xiao and W. Chen; no. Phylogenetic trees and exact breakpoints for all ten BFRs are shown in Supplementary Figs. Note that six of these sequences fall under the terms of use of the GISAID platform. 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.

There is a 90% DNA match between SARS CoV 2 and a coronavirus in pangolins. 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. China clade is phylogenetically separated from the S. China clade. In the presence of time-dependent rate variation, a widely observed phenomenon for viruses43,44,52, slower prior rates appear more appropriate for sarbecoviruses that currently encompass a sampling time range of about 18years. 725422-ReservoirDOCS). These residues are also in the Pangolin Guangdong 2019 sequence. It is RaTG13 that is more divergent in the variable-loop region (Extended Data Fig. & Andersen, K. G. The evolution of Ebola virus: insights from the 20132016 epidemic. 110. However, for several reasons, nucleotide sequences may be generated that cover only the spike gene of SARS-CoV-2. Of the countries that have contributed SARS-CoV-2 data, 30% had genomes of this lineage. 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. Viral metagenomics revealed Sendai virus and coronavirus infection of Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica).

A genomic perspective on the origin and emergence of SARS-CoV-2. We compiled a set of 69SARS-CoV genomes including 58 sampled from humans and 11 sampled from civets and raccoon dogs. Yres, D. L. et al. 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. The key to successful surveillance is knowing which viruses to look for and prioritizing those that can readily infect humans47. Biazzo et al. Trova, S. et al. B., Weaver, S. & Sergei, L. Evidence of significant natural selection in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in bats, not humans. 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. 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. Smuggled pangolins were carrying viruses closely related to the one sweeping the world, say scientists. Med. Extensive diversity of coronaviruses in bats from China. D.L.R. Virology 507, 110 (2017). 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. 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. Article Current sampling of pangolins does not implicate them as an intermediate host. 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. Biol. SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 are also exceptions because they were sampled from Hubei and Yunnan, respectively. Are pangolins the intermediate host of the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)?

Our most conservative approach attempted to ensure that putative NRRs had no mosaic or phylogenetic incongruence signals. We named the length-sorted BFRs as: BFRA (ntpositions 13,29119,628, length=6,338nt), BFRB (ntpositions 3,6259,150, length=5,526nt), BFRC (ntpositions 9,26111,795, length=2,535nt), BFRD (ntpositions 27,70228,843, length=1,142nt) and six further regions (EJ). It allows a user to assign a SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence the most likely lineage (Pango lineage) to SARS-CoV-2 query sequences. All four of these breakpoints were also identified with the tree-based recombination detection method GARD35. The lineage B.1 has been the major basal and widespread lineage from the initial SARS-CoV-2 spread and it became the more prevalent lineage in Colombia ( 13 ), while the B.1.111 lineage, first detected in the USA from a sample collected on March 7, 2020 and subsequently in Colombia on March 13, 2020 is currently circulating and mainly represented For the HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV and SARS datasets we specified flexible skygrid coalescent tree priors. SARS-CoV-2 is an appropriate name for the new coronavirus. This new approach classifies the newly sequenced genome against all the diverse lineages present instead of a representative select sequences. Using the most conservative approach to identification of a non-recombinant genomic region (NRR1), SARS-CoV-2 forms a sister lineage with RaTG13, with genetically related cousin lineages of coronavirus sampled in pangolins in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces (Fig. Conservatively, we combined the three BFRs >2kb identified above into non-recombining region1 (NRR1). Based on the identified breakpoints in each genome, only the major non-recombinant region is kept in each genome while other regions are masked. PLoS Pathog. Regions AC were further examined for mosaic signals by 3SEQ, and all showed signs of mosaicism. First, we took an approach that relies on identification of mosaic regions (via 3SEQ14 v.1.7) that are also supported by PI signals19. Duchene, S., Holmes, E. C. & Ho, S. Y. W. Analyses of evolutionary dynamics in viruses are hindered by a time-dependent bias in rate estimates. Nature 583, 286289 (2020). A.R. 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. Virological.org http://virological.org/t/ncov-2019-codon-usage-and-reservoir-not-snakes-v2/339 (2020). 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. Bryant, D. & Moulton, V. Neighbor-Net: an agglomerative method for the construction of phylogenetic networks. Because these subclades had different phylogenetic relationships in regionD (Supplementary Fig. By mid-January 2020, the virus was spreading widely within Hubei province and by early March SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic8. from the European Research Council under the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. Holmes, E. C., Dudas, G., Rambaut, A. 5 (NRR1) are conservative in the sense that NRR1 is more likely to be non-recombinant than NRR2 or NRA3. 4. For weather, science, and COVID-19 . 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). Wu, F. et al. 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. We showed that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is probably a novel recombinant virus. Sequences are colour-coded by province according to the map. matics program called Pangolin was developed. and D.L.R. It is available as a command line tool and a web application. Collectively our analyses point to bats being the primary reservoir for the SARS-CoV-2 lineage. The relatively fast evolutionary rate means that it is most appropriate to estimate shallow nodes in the sarbecovirus evolutionary history. Time-measured phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using a Bayesian approach implemented in BEAST42 v.1.10.4. 24, 490502 (2016). Biol. 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. Nature 538, 193200 (2016). Nature 503, 535538 (2013). Genetic lineages of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging and circulating around the world since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Li, X. et al. The canine viral genome was excluded from the Bayesian phylogenetic analyses because temporal signal analyses (see below) indicated that it was an outlier. The assumption of long-term purifying selection would imply that coronaviruses are in endemic equilibrium with their natural host species, horseshoe bats, to which they are presumably well adapted. 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. 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 ). 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. Extended Data Fig. But some theories suggest that pangolins may be the source of the novel coronavirus. 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). Identifying the origins of an emerging pathogen can be critical during the early stages of an outbreak, because it may allow for containment measures to be precisely targeted at a stage when the number of daily new infections is still low. The first available sequence data6 placed this novel human pathogen in the Sarbecovirus subgenus of Coronaviridae7, the same subgenus as the SARS virus that caused a global outbreak of >8,000 cases in 20022003. 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. Maciej F. Boni, Philippe Lemey, Andrew Rambaut or David L. Robertson. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. 30, 21962203 (2020). 4). These rate priors are subsequently used in the Bayesian inference of posterior rates for NRR1, NRR2, and NRA3 as indicated by the solid arrows. 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. He, B. et al. By 2009, however, rapid genomic analysis had become a routine component of outbreak response. All three approaches to removal of recombinant genomic segments point to a single ancestral lineage for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. 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 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. 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. If stopping an outbreak in its early stages is not possibleas was the case for the COVID-19 epidemic in Hubeiidentification of origins and point sources is nevertheless important for containment purposes in other provinces and prevention of future outbreaks. Hu, B. et al. This study provides an integration of existing classifications and describes evolutionary trends of the SARS-CoV . a, Breakpoints identified by 3SEQ illustrated by percentage of sequences (out of 68) that support a particular breakpoint position. For coronaviruses, however, recombination means that small genomic subregions can have independent origins, identifiable if sufficient sampling has been done in the animal reservoirs that support the endemic circulation, co-infection and recombination that appear to be common. Biol. BEAST inferences made use of the BEAGLE v.3 library68 for efficient likelihood computations. Google Scholar. and P.L.) 2). Internet Explorer). 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.

Sarbecovirus, HCoV-OC43 and SARS-CoV data were assembled from GenBank to be as complete as possible, with sampling year as an inclusion criterion. Evol. Aside from RaTG13, Pangolin-CoV is the most closely related CoV to SARS-CoV-2. These shy, quirky but cute mammals are one of the most heavily trafficked yet least understood animals in the world. Conducting analogous analyses of codon usage bias as Ji et al. 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. 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. 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. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaa163 (2020). 382, 11991207 (2020). In our second stage, we wanted to construct non-recombinant regions where our approach to breakpoint identification was as conservative as possible.

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. With horseshoe bats currently the most plausible origin of SARS-CoV-2, it is important to consider that sarbecoviruses circulate in a variety of horseshoe bat species with widely overlapping species ranges57.

Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus: implications for virus origins and receptor binding. 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. Virus Evol. 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). Bruen, T. C., Philippe, H. & Bryant, D. A simple and robust statistical test for detecting the presence of recombination. 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. Posterior distributions were approximated through Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, which were run sufficiently long to ensure effective sampling sizes >100. 1, vev016 (2015). The boxplots show divergence time estimates (posterior medians) for SARS-CoV-2 (red) and the 20022003 SARS-CoV virus (blue) from their most closely related bat virus. 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. Unfortunately, a response that would achieve containment was not possible. P.L. 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). Sci. Relevant bootstrap values are shown on branches, and grey-shaded regions show sequences exhibiting phylogenetic incongruence along the genome.

DRAGEN COVID Lineage App This app aligns reads to a SARS-CoV-2 reference genome and reports coverage of targeted regions. "This is an extremely interesting . Complete genome sequence data were downloaded from GenBank and ViPR; accession numbers of all 68sequences are available in Supplementary Table 4. 3). If the latter still identified non-negligible recombination signal, we removed additional genomes that were identified as major contributors to the remaining signal. To employ phylogenetic dating methods, recombinant regions of a 68-genome sarbecovirus alignment were removed with three independent methods. SARS-like WIV1-CoV poised for human emergence. 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. We thank all authors who have kindly deposited and shared genome data on GISAID. BFRs were concatenated if no phylogenetic incongruence signal could be identified between them. Extended Data Fig. Sequencing from Malayan pangolins collected during anti-smuggling operations in southern China detected coronavirus lineages related to SARS-CoV-2. Green boxplots show the TMRCA estimate for the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage and its most closely related pangolin lineage (Guangdong 2019), with the light and dark coloured version based on the HCoV-OC43 and MERS-CoV centred priors, respectively. 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. .
