    Reference sequences, additional strains, and gene annotations: Genomic sequences of all viral strains were downloaded as FASTA files from NCBI [Supplementary Table 1].
    NCBI
    suggested: (NCBI, RRID:SCR_006472)
    To generate the phylogenetic trees, we used the MAFFT program, employing the fast option to align individual strains of each viral genome to its reference [10, 11].
    MAFFT
    suggested: (MAFFT, RRID:SCR_011811)
    Phylogenetic trees were built using FastTree with the GTR model [12, 13].
    FastTree
    suggested: (FastTree, RRID:SCR_015501)

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
