The mPox viral protein sequence was retrieved as a FASTA file from the UniProt database (https://www.uniprot.org/) [21 (link)] by searching with the keyword “monkeypox cell surface binding protein.” Following that, we used our target sequence as the query sequence to analyze the BLASTp program [22 (link)] for evaluating phylogenetic information from the NCBI database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Finally, in order to better understand the comparative evolution of the organisms, a phylogenetic tree was constructed and visualized using the Microreact database (https://microreact.org/) [23 (link)].
