Open assets for comparative genomic evaluation of parvoviruses
To facilitate better reproducibility and reusability in comparative genomic analyses, we beforehand developed GLUE (Genes Linked by Underlying Evolution), a bioinformatics software program framework for the event and upkeep of “virus genome knowledge assets” [19]. Right here, we used the GLUE framework to create Parvovirus-GLUE [20], an overtly accessible on-line useful resource for comparative evaluation of parvovirus genomes (S1 and S2 Figs). Information gadgets collated in Parvovirus-GLUE embrace the next: (i) a set of 135 reference genome sequences (S1 Desk) every representing a definite parvovirus species and linked to isolate-associated knowledge (isolate identify, time and place of sampling, host species); (ii) a standardized set of 51 parvovirus genome options (S2 Desk); (iii) genome annotations specifying the coordinates of those genome options inside reference genome sequences (S3 Desk); and (iv) a set of a number of sequence alignments (MSAs) constructed to characterize distinct taxonomic ranges throughout the household Parvoviridae (Desk 1 and S3 Fig).
The Parvovirus-GLUE mission is constructed by utilizing GLUE’s native command layer to create a bespoke MySQL database that not solely accommodates the info gadgets related to our evaluation, but additionally maps the semantic hyperlinks between them (e.g., the associations between particular sequences, genome options, and MSA segments) (S1 and S2 Figs). Standardised, reproducible comparative genomic analyses can then be carried out by utilizing GLUE’s command layer to coordinate interactions between the mission database and bioinformatics software program instruments.
Parvovirus-GLUE goals to offer a platform by way of which researchers working in several areas of parvovirus genomics can profit from each other’s work. The mission might be put in on all generally used computing platforms and can also be totally containerised through Docker [21]. Within the pursuits of sustaining a light-weight, versatile method, the revealed mission accommodates solely a single reference genome for every parvovirus species. Nevertheless, it might readily be prolonged to permit in-depth evaluation on the species stage (a tutorial included with the revealed useful resource demonstrates how this may be completed; [20]). Parvovirus-GLUE is hosted in an overtly accessible on-line model management system (GitHub), offering a platform for its ongoing growth by the analysis group, following practices established within the software program business (S1C Fig) [22]. To facilitate its use throughout a broad vary of study contexts, the useful resource adheres to a “data-oriented programming” paradigm that straight addresses problems with reusability, complexity, and scale within the design of knowledge methods [23].
Complete mapping of endogenous parvoviral parts in revealed vertebrate genomes
To determine EPV loci in revealed vertebrate genomes, we carried out systematic, similarity search-based in silico screening (see S4 Fig) of WGS knowledge representing 752 vertebrate species. This led to the restoration of a complete of 595 EPV sequences (Fig 1), which we resolved right into a set of 199 distinct orthologous loci through sequence comparisons (Fig 2). We recognized flanking genes for EPV loci (S4–S6 Tables) and compiled the sturdy, orthology-based minimal age calibrations we obtained from EPVs to generate an summary of parvovirus and vertebrate interplay over the previous 100 My (Fig 3).

EPV locus identifiers are proven on the left. EPV had been assigned distinctive identifiers (IDs) constructed from three parts following a conference proposed for endogenous retroviruses [61]. The primary part is the classifier “EPV.” The second part contains the identify of the bottom stage taxonomic group (i.e., species, genus, subfamily, or different clade) into which the component might be confidently positioned by phylogenetic evaluation and a numeric ID that uniquely identifies the insertion, separated by a interval.

EPVs had been recognized in all main teams of terrestrial vertebrates besides agnathans, crocodiles, and amphibians (Desk 2). General, nevertheless, they had been discovered to happen considerably extra ceaselessly in mammalian WGS assemblies than in these of different vertebrate teams, based mostly on a two-sample proportion take a look at carried out within the R software program package deal [24], as follows: Mammalia versus Sauria: (178 loci in 353 mammalian genomes, prop = 0.50 versus 16 loci in 200 saurian genomes, prop = 0.08; p-value = 2.4 × 10−23); Mammalia versus Actinopterygii (3 loci, 175 genomes, prop = 0.02; p-value = 3.69 × 10−28).
To taxonomically classify EPVs, we used a mixture of sequence similarity-based comparisons and phylogenetic evaluation. We discovered the vertebrate EPVs had been predominantly derived from viruses just like protoparvoviruses (genus Protoparvovirus) and dependoparvoviruses (genus Dependoparvovirus). In the meantime, the Amdo-, Erythro- and Ichthamaparvovirus genera are additionally represented within the parvovirus “fossil file” (Fig 1). In the meantime, the Ave-, Boca-, Tetra-, Copi-, and Chaphamaparvovirus genera—all of which infect vertebrates—are conspicuously absent.
We recognized 121 protoparvovirus-related EPV sequences in mammals, which we estimate to characterize at the very least 105 distinct germline incorporation occasions (S5 Desk). A number of genome-length parts had been recognized, and most parts spanned at the very least roughly 50% of the genome (Fig 2). We additionally recognized 213 dependoparvovirus-related EPV sequences, which we estimate to characterize at the very least 80 distinct germline incorporation occasions (S4 Desk). Dependoparvovirus EPVs had been recognized in a broad vary of vertebrate lessons, together with mammals, birds, and reptiles (Desk 2). Comparatively few genome-length or gene-length parts are discovered amongst dependoparvovirus-derived EPVs (Figs 2 and S11).
We recognized the primary reported examples of EPVs derived from genus Erythroparvovirus within the genomes of the Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)—a New World rodent—and the Indri (Indri indri), a Malagasy primate (Figs 2 and S12). Amdoparvovirus-like EPVs have been reported beforehand [25]; nevertheless, our display screen recognized novel orthologous copies of EPV-Amdo.101-Serpentes, thereby offering a sturdy minimal age estimate of >100 Mya for this insertion and calibrating the evolutionary timeline of amdoparvoviruses (Tables 3 and S5).
Subfamily Hamaparvovirinae accommodates two genera recognized to contaminate vertebrates—Chaphamaparvovirus and Ichthamaparvovirus [1]. We beforehand reported an Ichthamaparvovirus-derived EPV locus in fish [26]. Right here, we report an extra locus in snakes (suborder Serpentes). This sequence demonstrates that Ichthamaparvovirus host vary extends to reptiles (Figs 2 and S13) and, through orthology throughout a number of snake species, establishes a minimal age of 62 My for the genus (Desk 3).
Phylogenetic evaluation reveals the evolutionary historical past of subfamily Parvovirinae
By way of Parvovirus-GLUE, we carried out a reproducible and extensible course of (S6 Fig) for reconstructing evolutionary relationships throughout your entire Parvoviridae, at a spread of taxonomic ranges. Phylogenies had been reconstructed utilizing most chance (ML), firstly amongst viruses solely (S7 Fig), and secondly amongst each viruses and EPVs (Figs 4–8 and S8–S13). For subfamily Parvovirinae, we reconstructed phylogenies from polypeptide-level MSAs spanning the extremely conserved tripartite helicase area of Rep (Fig 4). These phylogenies reveal three robustly supported sublineages every encompassing a number of genera as follows: (i) “ETDC”: Erythro-, Tetra-, Dependo-, and Copiparvovirus; (ii) “Ave-Boca”: Ave– and Bocaparvovirus; and (iii) “Amdo-Proto”: Amdo– and Protoparvovirus.

Most placental mammals (together with rodents, primates, ungulates, and bats) advanced in Laurasia. Nevertheless, these teams later expanded into different continents, and fossil proof signifies that the ancestors of as we speak’s “New World rodents” had arrived on the South American continent by roughly 35 Mya, if not earlier.

The EDTC and “Amdo-Proto” clades are demonstrably historic as they each embrace EPVs that had been integrated into the germline >80 Mya. The “Ave-Boca” lineage doesn’t have fossil representatives, however, notably, it contains fully distinct mammalian and saurian lineages, elevating the opportunity of historic host–virus codivergence alongside the Mammalia-Sauria cut up roughly 200 Mya (Desk 3 and Fig 3). Equally, we recognized EPVs derived from the “Amdo-Proto” and “ETDC” lineages in basal vertebrates together with lobe-finned fish (class Sarcopterygii) and sharks (class Chondrichthyes) (Fig 4). According to historic codivergence (quite than current, interclass transmission), these sequences group basally, suggesting that the emergence of Parvovirinae genera would possibly predate the deeper divergences amongst terrestrial vertebrates (Desk 3 and Fig 3).
Whereas nearly all of EPV loci recognized in our examine are unambiguously associated to modern parvoviruses, a number of couldn’t be categorised past the subfamily stage (all derive from viruses in subfamily Parvovirinae) (S6 Desk). Some had been very brief and historic (i.e., >80 Mya) and therefore tough to categorise utilizing phylogenetic approaches. These included a brief VP-derived insert beforehand reported within the limbin gene locus of mammals belonging to superorder Euarchontoglires (Supraprimates) [15], and two brief Rep-derived parts present in mammals belonging to superorder Laurasiatheria. Longer but nonetheless unclassifiable EPVs had been recognized in decrease vertebrate teams (e.g., lobe-finned fish). These EPVs would possibly derive from members of extant parvovirus teams which might be but to be described.
Some herpesvirus (household Herpesviridae) lineages include a homolog of the parvovirus rep gene of their genomes—referred to as “U94” in human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6). This sequence—which is presumed to have arisen through parvovirus integration into an ancestral herpesvirus genome—teams in a nonspecific place throughout the Parvovirinae clade (Fig 4). U94 homologs happen in a number of members of genus Roseolovirus (subfamily Betaherpesvirinae) [27], suggesting insertion occurred following the divergence of Herpesviridae subfamilies roughly 200 Mya [28] (Desk 3).
Viruses belonging to the ‘Amdo-Proto’ lineage have solely been remoted from mammals, suggesting that each amdo- and protoparvoviruses might need originated on this host class, even perhaps comparatively not too long ago (e.g., throughout the previous 20 My). Nevertheless, the presence of a basal, historic, amdoparvovirus-derived EPV (Amdo.101-Serpentes) in a squamate reptile (S3B Fig) suggests a extra distant evolutionary separation between these teams (Desk 3). Earlier research had urged that Amdo.101-Serpentes would possibly characterize an intermediate lineage between the Amdo- and Protoparvovirus genera. Nevertheless, this EPV displays a number of attribute amdoparvoviral options together with a putative M-ORF and a capsid gene that lacks a PLA2 area [25]. Moreover, Amdo.101-Serpentes teams extra intently with amdo- than protoparvoviruses within the Rep phylogenies reconstructed right here, supporting the view that it represents a reptilian lineage inside an expanded Amdoparvovirus genus (Fig 4).
Phylogenetic evaluation of protoparvoviruses revealed beforehand unappreciated variety throughout the Protoparvovirus genus: Three main subclades are current, which we labelled “Archaeoproto,” “Mesoproto,” and “Neoproto” (Fig 6). The “Archaeoproto” clade is comprised solely of EPVs and is extremely represented within the genomes of Australian marsupials (Australidelphia), American marsupials (Ameridelphia), and New World rodents. The “Mesoproto” clade can also be comprised solely of EPVs and was sparsely represented within the EPV fossil file, solely being detected within the genomes of basal placental mammal teams (Xenarthra and Afrotheria). Lastly, the “Neoproto” clade accommodates all recognized modern protoparvoviruses and a small variety of EPV parts derived from these viruses (Fig 6).
A novel, neoprotoparvovirus-derived EPV was recognized within the steppe mouse (Mus spicelagus). Notably, the NS and VP genes of this EPV exhibit distinct phylogenetic relationships, implying recombination (S6F Fig). Moreover, the VP/Cap gene of proto.4-MusSpi teams very intently with BtHp-PV, implying cross-species transmission (S8C and S9 Figs). Rodent-associated taxa are interspersed all through the “Neoproto” clade, and the neoprotoparvovirus-derived EPVs present in rodent genomes group with viruses remoted from carnivores, bats, and ungulates, quite than these remoted from rodents. Taken collectively, these phylogenetic relationships counsel that zoonotic switch from rodents to different mammalian orders could happen comparatively ceaselessly amongst viruses within the “Neoproto” clade, as has been urged for some retrovirus teams that infect mammals [29,30].
Phylogenetic reconstructions revealed the evolutionary relationships between dependo-related EPVs and modern dependoparvoviruses (Figs 8A and S10). The evolutionary origins of shorter and extra degraded EPVs had been extra problematic to reconstruct. As is likely to be anticipated, we obtained comparatively low bootstrap assist for inner branching relationships when such EPV sequences had been included within the evaluation (S11 Fig). Nevertheless, if evaluation is restricted to the longer EPVs, phylogenies disclose a number of robustly supported subclades throughout the Dependoparvovirus genus (Fig 8A). These included clades unique to reptilian species (Sauria-), Australian marsupials (Oceania-), and Boreoeutherian mammals (Neo-). A fourth clade, which we named “Shirdal,” accommodates taxa derived from each avian and mammalian hosts.
Erythyroparvovirus-derived EPVs grouped with rodent erythroparvoviruses in phylogenetic timber, suggesting attainable interorder transmission from rodents to lemuriforme primates (S12 Fig). When examined in relation to the biogeographic distribution of host species, these phylogenetic relationships present tentative age calibrations for the Erythroparvovirus genus based mostly on the parsimonious assumption that they unfold to Madagascar and South America throughout the Cenozoic Period along with rodent founder populations (Desk 3).
Conservation of genome options in Parvovirinae evolution
We examined the distribution of conserved genome options amongst Parvovirinae genera in relation to the Parvovirinae phylogeny (Fig 5). For instance, the “telomeres” that flank parvovirus genomes are heterotelomeric (asymmetrical) in some genera (Amdo-, Proto-, Boca-, and Aveparvovirus) whereas they’re homotelomeric (symmetrical) in others [31]. Curiously, the distribution of this trait throughout sublineages throughout the subfamily Parvovirinae means that the asymmetrical type (which is discovered throughout the “Amdo-Proto” and “Ave-Boca” sublineages) is extra prone to be ancestral.
Equally, in all Parvovirinae genera besides Aveparvovirus and Amdoparvovirus, the N-terminal area of VP1 (the most important of the capsid) accommodates a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymatic area that turns into uncovered on the particle floor throughout cell entry and is required for escape from the endosomal compartments. Phylogenetic reconstructions point out that this area was current ancestrally and has been convergently misplaced within the Aveparvovirus and Amdoparvovirus genera (Fig 5) [2,32].
Parvovirinae genera additionally present variation of their gene expression methods by way of differential promoter utilization and different splicing. Members of the Proto- and Dependoparvovirus genera use two to 3 separate transcriptional promoters, whereas the Amdo-, Erythro-, and Boca- genera specific all genes from a single promoter and use genus-specific read-through mechanisms to provide different transcripts [2,11]. Curiously, each the Proto- and Dependoparvovirus genera utilise the primary of those expression methods regardless of being comparatively distantly associated, suggesting that the usage of separate promoters may very well be the ancestral technique throughout the subfamily Parvovirinae. Nevertheless, this is able to imply that mechanisms to specific a number of genes from a single promoter had been acquired independently by the parvovirus genera that utilise them (Fig 5).
Mammalian vicariance has formed the evolution of protoparvoviruses
The restoration of a wealthy fossil file for protoparvoviruses allowed us to look at how their evolution has been formed by macroevolutionary processes impacting on mammals over the previous 150 to 200 My, reminiscent of continental drift [33]. Round 200 Mya, the supercontinent of Pangaea, then the only real landmass on the planet, started separating into two subcomponents (Fig 7). One (Laurasia) comprised Europe, North America, and most of Asia, whereas the second (Gondwanaland) comprised Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Madagascar. Mammalian subpopulations had been fragmented by these occasions, after which fragmented additional as Gondwanaland separated into its part continents. The related genetic isolation attributable to geographic separation (vicariance) drove the early diversification of main subgroups, together with indigenous mammalian lineages in South America (xenarthans and marsupials), Australia (marsupials), and Africa (afrotherians). At factors all through the Cenozoic Period, placental mammal teams that advanced in Laurasia (boreoeutherians) expanded into different continental areas. For instance, the ancestors of up to date New World rodents (which embrace capybaras, chinchillas, and guinea pigs amongst many different, extremely diversified species) are thought to have reached the South American continent roughly 35 Mya [34].
Protoparvoviruses phylogenies strikingly mirror the influence of mammalian vicariance—and later migration—on protoparvovirus emergence and unfold throughout the Cenozoic Period. When protoparvovirus-related EPVs are included in ML-based reconstructions, the interior construction of the resultant phylogeny has extraordinarily sturdy assist (Fig 6). Furthermore, this phylogeny can readily be mapped onto a phylogeny of mammals (obtained through TimeTree; [35]) in order that the three main protoparvovirus lineages emerge in live performance with main teams of mammalian hosts (Fig 7C). Importantly, nevertheless, one exception to this sample happens within the “Archeoproto” clade through which EPVs from New World rodent genomes group with EPVs present in marsupial genomes, with the closest kinfolk being EPVs recognized within the frequent opossum (Monodelphis domestica), a South American marsupial (Fig 6). We suggest that, as proven in Fig 7, these relationships might be accounted for by a parsimonious mannequin of protoparvovirus evolution whereby (i) ancestral protoparvovirus species had been current in Pangaea previous to its breakup; (ii) vicariance amongst ancestral mammal populations led to the emergence of distinct protoparvovirus clades in distinct biogeographic areas, with the “archeoprotoparvovirus” (ArcPV) clade evolving in marsupials, and the “meso-” and “neo-” clades evolving in placental mammals; and (iii) founding populations of New World rodents had been uncovered to an infection with ArcPVs following rodent colonisation of the South American continent (estimated to have occurred roughly 50 to 30 Mya; [34]). This easy mannequin can account for the phylogenetic relationships proven in Fig 6, in addition to the excessive frequency of ArcPV-derived EPVs within the genomes of New World rodent species versus their full absence from the genomes of Previous World rodent species.
