But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from?(3)___"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks ...

The zoonotic origin of CoVs is well documented. This family of viruses infects more than 500 species of chiropterans (a mammalian order consisting of more than 1200 species of bats) which represent an important reservoir for CoV evolution, allowing the recombination of viral genomes in animals ...

Perhaps the evidence pointing to a DNA ancestor common to both Archaea and Eukarya [44] indicates that the same or very similar DNA viruses were responsible for the RNA-DNA transition in a precursor of Archaea and Eukarya. At any rate, Forterre's proposal on the primordial role of viruses ...

8% and 25% of the human genome seems to have such viral origins. But the viruses themselves can in turn be hijacked, and their genes turned to new uses. For example, the ability of mammals to bear live young is a consequence of a viral gene being modified to permit the formation of ...
These viruses have zoonotic origins, and the circumstances of their emergence are unclear. In direct parallel to SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-HKU1, which was first described in a large Chinese city (Shenzhen, Guangdong) in the winter of 2004, has an unknown animal origin, contains a furin cleavage ...
