Phylogeny of Viruses 2008-07-30 .txt text/plain 3892 182 40 For inferring phylogeny, the differences between aligned sequences of genomes and proteins are quantified and depicted in the form of a tree, in which contemporary species and their intermediate and common ancestors occupy, respectively, the terminal nodes, internal nodes, and the root. Phylogenetic analysis is used in a wide range of studies to address both applied and fundamental issues of virus research, including epidemiology, diagnostics, forensic studies, phylogeography, origin, evolution, and taxonomy of viruses. With the latter virus, poor sampling of the coronavirus diversity in the SARS-CoV lineage at the time, some uncertainty over the relationship between phylogeny and taxonomy of coronaviruses, and the complexity of phylogenetic analysis of a virus data set including isolated distant lineages led to considerable controversy over the exact evolutionary position of SARS-CoV among coronaviruses. ./cache/cord-343918-5yk1j4ms.txt ./txt/cord-343918-5yk1j4ms.txt
