Table 2.

Coronavirus genomes were collected from the various database resources listed by host and source categories. Using taxonomic data made available by the Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource (ViPR) [62], 70 bat-CoVs were identified as Betacoronavirus and 84 were Alphacoronavirus. Five pangolin-CoVs were identified as Betacoronavirus. The remaining bat-CoV and pangolin-CoV genomes did not have a family identification. These were downloaded in May 2020 and consisted of the contemporary available and open datasets at the time. All genomes and their respective IDs are currently available through NCBI (Oct 2020). In cases where two groups contained the same genome (Possibly with a different name), only one representative was taken.
