Welcome at the Institute of Virology

Phylogenetic analysis of currently available HCoV-EMC sequences based on a concatenated 4012 bp dataset (maximum likelihood, HKY, numbers at branches indicate percent bootstrap support in 5000 replicates). Reduction of the dataset was determined by the limited number of sequence fragments retrievable from a stored clinical sample containing little virus, derived from a patient treated in Essen/Germany. Full genomes are available for all other viruses shown in the tree. The full genome sequenced from a case treated in Munich/Germany can be retrieved from this homepage (menu on the left).
