About the study In the present study, researchers assessed the evolution and diversity of MPVX genomes using phylogenomic analysis. The phylogenomic analysis was performed using the aligned dataset derived using NextClade. The datasets were utilized to develop a maximum likelihood further. Furthermore, the team evaluated the potential introduction date as well as the dispersion dynamics of the MPVX infections. The tree obtained from this evaluation was represented in the Interactive Tree Of Life , wherein the clades were assigned based on the intrataxa classification system.
