(A) The similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and other beta coronaviruses using the sliding window showed that SARS-CoV-2 was similar to bat virus RaTG13. (B) The molecular phylogenetic tree based on protein sequences established the high similarity among SARS-CoV-2 and its near relatives. (C) The mutations that developed after it came to circulate among humans did not include any mutation with high occurrence. (D) The graphs show all of the differences between SARS-CoV-2 and its close relative strains isolated from bats.
