An update on my partial RdRp #sarbecovirus tree. This is now the region 15000-16000 with many smaller sequences.

Once sample is collected they do a PCR, if positive they sequence the region 15300-15700, if interesting they try to sequence the whole genome
Species: Rhinolophus, 9 Hipposideridae, 2 Human, 2 Civet, 3 Pangolin, 1 Chinese badger, 2 Vesper, 1 Molossidae.

No rhinolophids in America. In other countries rhinolophids were sampled and were negative to CoV or sarbecovirus. Turkey unsampled, there are sarbecoviruses there!
Recently published:

Lebanon, Russia (Sotchi), Croatia, UK.

In the SARS 1&2 clades: the Menglun samples, Thailand,Cambodia, 12 sequences likely from Jinning (where almost all good matches to SARS-CoV come from).

The African lineage was seen only in the great lakes region.
