Currently sampled Bt-SLCoVs are too distant to be the director ancestor.
HB-SLCoV is closely related to Hu-SCoV; Contains direct ancestor?
tMRCA-Hu (estimated from S1 dataset) as a prior for tDIV-Hu/HB Bayesian dating in ORF1 dataset
S1-derived tMRCA-Hu prior improved the precision of tDIV-Hu/HB posterior of the ORF1 data set
