TABLE 2.

Orthocoronavirus ages by different models in this study using amino acid sequences. Calibration confidence intervals at 2.5–97.5% are 14–20 MY for Bat-17 MYA, 30–42 MY for Bat-35 MYA and 134–167 MY for Bird-150 MYA. Mean and 95% highest posterior density (HPD) only are shown for the substitution rate (per site per million years).
