Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Influential variants and mutants of this virus continue to emerge, more effective virus-related information urgently required for identifying predicting new mutants. According earlier reports, synonymous substitutions were considered phenotypically silent; thus, such mutations frequently ignored in studies viral because they did not directly cause amino acid changes. However,...
The ancestor of cetaceans underwent a macroevolutionary transition from land to water early in the Eocene Period >50 million years ago. However, little is known about how diverse retroviruses evolved during this shift terrestrial aquatic environments. Did into accompanying their hosts? infect through cross-species transmission after invaded environments? Endogenous (ERVs) provide important molecular fossils for tracing evolution transition. Here, we use phylogenomic approach study origin...
