Comparison between the recombination-free and RBD merbecovirus phylogenies. Tanglegram of the representative merbecoviruses based on the comparison of the recombination-free phylogeny (left) and RBD-generated phylogeny (right). Highlighted in blue is the detected recombinant, HCoV-EMC/2012. The red squares represent ACE2 usage, blue circles represent DPP4 usage, and green triangles represent unidentified receptor usage. The numerical node support values are shown above each node. The scale bars represent genetic distance
