Testing the hypothesis of a recombinant origin of the SARS-associated coronavirus 2004-10-11 .txt text/plain 3023 152 52 Surprisingly, we found that 7 putative recombination regions, located in Replicase 1ab and Spike protein, exist between SARS-CoV and other 6 coronaviruses: porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), bovine coronavirus (BCoV), human coronavirus 229E (HCoV), murine hepatitis virus (MHV), and avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). After potential recombination events were identified by at least 3 methods above, separate neighbor joining trees were constructed for each putative recombination region to better evaluate the evidence for conflicting evolutionary histories of different sequence regions. Two regions (13151-13299 and 16051-16449, position in alignment) are identified as putative recombination regions and all 6 coronaviruses are potential parents with SARS-CoV as potential daughter. In this study, seven recombination detection methods and phylogenetic analyses were performed on SARS-CoV and the six coronaviruses identified by BLAST (IBV, BCoV, HCoV, MHV, PEDV and TGEV). ./cache/cord-316525-uadfehr6.txt ./txt/cord-316525-uadfehr6.txt
