Past and ongoing adaptation of human cytomegalovirus to its host.
Cytomegaloviruses (order Herpesvirales) display remarkable species-specificity as a result of long-term co-evolution with their mammalian hosts. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is exquisitely adapted to our species and displays high genetic diversity. We leveraged information on inter-species divergenc...
