raccs203 raccs203 raccs203 is a bat-derived strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus collected in acuminate horseshoe bats from sites in thailand and sequenced by lin-fa wang's team. it has 91.5% sequence similarity to sars-cov-2 and is most related to the rmyn02 strain. its spike protein is closely related to rmyn02's spike, both highly divergent from sars-cov-2's spike. raccs203 virus classification (unranked): virus realm: riboviria kingdom: orthornavirae phylum: pisuviricota class: pisoniviricetes order: nidovirales family: coronaviridae genus: betacoronavirus subgenus: sarbecovirus species: severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus strain: raccs203 phylogenetics phylogenetic tree a phylogenetic tree based on whole-genome sequences of sars-cov-2 and related coronaviruses is: sars‑cov‑2 related coronavirus (bat) rc-o319, 81% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus cornutus, iwate, japan bat sl-zxc21, 88% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus pusillus, zhoushan, zhejiang bat sl-zc45, 88% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus pusillus, zhoushan, zhejiang pangolin sarsr-cov-gx, 85.3% to sars-cov-2, manis javanica, smuggled from southeast asia pangolin sarsr-cov-gd, 90.1% to sars-cov-2, manis javanica, smuggled from southeast asia bat rshstt182, 92.6% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus shameli, steung treng, cambodia bat rshstt200, 92.6% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus shameli, steung treng, cambodia (bat) raccs203, 91.5% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus acuminatus, chachoengsao, thailand (bat) rmyn02, 93.3% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus malayanus, mengla, yunnan (bat) rpyn06, 94.4% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus pusillus, xishuangbanna, yunnan (bat) ratg13, 96.1% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus affinis, mojiang, yunnan (bat) banal-52, 96.8% to sars-cov-2, rhinolophus malayanus, vientiane, laos sars-cov-2 sars-cov-1, 79% to sars-cov-2 genome comparison sars-cov-2 compared to other sarsr-cov (by nucleotide %) strain full-length genome orf1ab s rbm orf3a e m orf6 orf7a orf7b orf8 n orf10 ratg13 96.10% 96.50% 92.30% 86.30% 96.30% 99.60% 95.50% 98.40% 95.60% 99.20% 97.00% 96.90% 99.20% rmyn02 93.60% 97.10% 72.50% 61.90% 96.40% 98.70% 94.80% 96.80% 96.20% 91.00% 48.70% 97.30% 99.20% raccs203 91.50% 94.30% 71.30% 61.60% 91.90% 99.10% 94.60% 96.20% 92.40% 93.90% 91.60% 93.20% 99.20% gd/1/2019 90.20% 90.20% 83.70% 86.90% 93.20% 99.10% 93.30% 95.70% 93.40% 91.70% 92.10% 96.20% 99.20% sl-zc45 87.70% 89.00% 75.50% 62.50% 87.80% 98.70% 93.40% 94.60% 88.80% 94.70% 88.50% 91.10% 99.20% sl-zxc21 87.50% 88.70% 74.90% 61.60% 88.90% 98.70% 93.40% 94.60% 89.10% 95.50% 88.50% 91.20% 99.20% gx-p4l 85.40% 84.80% 83.60% 80.00% 86.80% 97.40% 91.30% 90.90% 86.60% 83.50% 81.30% 91.00% 88.90% gx-p5l 85.20% 84.60% 83.30% 79.90% 87.00% 97.40% 91.30% 90.90% 86.40% 83.50% 80.70% 91.00% 94.00% sars-cov 79.30% 79.70% 72.30% 71.90% 75.30% 93.50% 85.50% 75.50% 82.10% 83.80% 45.80% 88.20% 93.20% rc-o319 79.20% 79.80% 72.20% 70.10% 83.30% 97.40% 86.60% 86.60% 78.40% 77.30% 52.30% 88.30% 94.90% sars-cov-2 compared to other sarsr-cov (by amino acid %) strain full-length genome orf1ab s rbm orf3a e m orf6 orf7a orf7b orf8 n orf10 ratg13 98.50% 97.30% 90.10% 97.80% 100.00% 99.60% 100.00% 97.50% 97.70% 95.00% 99.10% 97.40% rmyn02 98.80% 72.40% 63.20% 96.70% 100.00% 98.70% 96.70% 95.90% 83.70% 28.20% 98.60% 97.40% raccs203 97.30% 72.30% 63.70% 97.50% 100.00% 99.10% 98.40% 95.90% 93.00% 94.20% 95.70% - gd/1/2019 96.70% 90.00% 96.90% 97.10% 100.00% 98.70% 96.70% 97.50% 95.40% 95.00% 97.90% 97.40% sl-zc45 95.60% 80.20% 65.90% 90.90% 100.00% 98.70% 93.40% 87.60% 93.00% 94.20% 94.30% 97.40% sl-zxc21 95.20% 79.70% 65.90% 92.00% 100.00% 98.70% 93.40% 88.40% 93.00% 94.20% 94.30% - gx-p4l 92.50% 92.30% 86.60% 89.50% 100.00% 98.20% 95.10% 88.40% - 87.60% 93.60% 73.70% gx-p5l 92.50% 92.40% 86.60% 89.80% 100.00% 98.20% 95.10% 88.40% 72.10% 87.60% 93.80% 84.20% sars-cov 86.10% 75.80% 73.10% 72.40% 94.70% 90.50% 67.20% 85.30% 81.40% - 90.50% 81.60% rc-o319 87.60% 76.20% 73.50% 87.00% 98.70% 91.00% 83.60% 73.80% 69.80% 26.80% 89.50% 86.80%
