Phylogeny of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

Bellini, CDC, Phylogeny of the SARS-associated Coronavirus
The phylogenetic analysis published in the first two Science papers on the SARS CoV genome and presented in the linked graph has been challenged in several papers since.

The now prevailing view on SARS phylogeny, which is supported by ICTV, is described in the papers below:
