Complete Genome Sequence of a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus from Kenyan Bats - PubMed (original) (raw)

Ying Tao et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. 2019.

Abstract

We identified a strain of betacoronavirus BtKY72/Rhinolophus sp./Kenya/2007 (here BtKY72) from rectal swab samples in Kenyan bats. This paper reports the complete genomic sequence of BtKY72, which is closely related to BtCoV/BM48-31/Bulgaria/2008, a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-related virus from Rhinolophus bats in Europe.

Phylogenetic analysis of whole-genome sequences of betacoronaviruses. The phylogenetic tree is inferred using the maximum likelihood (ML) method available in PhyML version 3.0 (16), assuming a general time-reversible (GTR) model with a discrete gamma-distributed rate variation among sites (Γ4) and a subtree pruning and regrafting (SPR) tree-swapping algorithm. The sequences are labeled with accession number, strain name, geographic (three-letter country code), and host (species) information. BtKY72/Rhinolophus sp./Kenya/2007, sequenced in this study, is highlighted with a solid circle. The genus taxonomy information is shown to the right side of the phylogeny. The maximum likelihood bootstrap is indicated next to the nodes. The scale bar indicates the estimated number of nucleotide substitutions per site. KEN, Kenya; CHN, China; BGR, Bulgaria; NGA, Nigeria; MERS-CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus; HCoV, human coronavirus; MHV, mouse hepatitis virus; ZBCoV, Zaria bat coronavirus.
