Data from: Global patterns in coronavirus diversity

We surveyed the diversity of Coronaviruses in multiple host taxa from
twenty countries to explore the factors driving viral diversity at a
global scale. We identified sequences representing 100 discrete
phylogenetic clusters, ninety-one of which were found in bats, and used
ecological and epidemiologic analyses to show that patterns of CoV
diversity correlate with those of bat diversity. We examined factors
associated with the host such as bat family, genus, age, sex, season
sampled, and human impact at the sampling location. Co-phylogenetic
reconciliation analysis was also used to show that host switching has
contributed to CoV evolution, and a preliminary analysis suggests that
regional variation exists in the dynamics of this process.
