On the cover: The rising in the popularity of big data, artificial intelligence, and simulation technologies has opened up new opportunities for the development of our society. The close integration of real and artificial societies has become a trend, bringing in novel concepts such as parallel society and metaverse. The artificial society system describes, predicts, and guides the real society system, in a closed-loop, iterative, and spiral-rising way, forming a new mode of social operation driven by Data-AI-Simulation techniques. In the future, with the further development of interdisciplinary cooperation and the continuous advancement of technologies, living in metaverse is within reach. |

Statistical distribution of monkeypox virus genome sequence and variation
Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease endemic in Central and West Africa. Since 1 January 2022, 3413 laboratory confirmed monkeypox cases and one death have been reported from 50 countries/territories in five WHO regions, 1310 new cases and eight new countries have been reported in the past week. Genomic epidemiology is vital to determine the similarity between viruses and suggest possible links between cases, origins of infection, and transmission dynamics when combined with epidemiological information. However, one of the priority evidence gaps relating to the monkeypox outbreak is genome sequencing and in-host variation analysis.
