SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have been taxonomically classified into a single viral species, Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus [8] . Whereas SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), two highly contagious CoVs that emerged in humans during the past two decades, might ultimately have bat origins, both of them were introduced into human populations through intermediate hosts [9] . Phylogenetic analysis based on the synonymous sites of RBD, whose evolution is less likely to be influenced by natural selection, shows that RaTG13 is more closely related to SARS-CoV-2 than are the GD pangolin CoVs (Figure 1B) , indicating that the high amino acid similarity between the GD pangolin CoVs and SARS-CoV-2 in the RBD might be due to convergent evolution [3] . ./cache/cord-265350-k9yus2sv.txt ./txt/cord-265350-k9yus2sv.txt
