Multiple merger coalescent inference of effective population size
Julie Zhang, Julia A. Palacios
Variation in a sample of molecular sequence data informs about the past evolutionary history of the sample's population. Traditionally, Bayesian modeling coupled with the standard…
Statistical Challenges in Tracking the Evolution of SARS-CoV-2
Lorenzo Cappello, Jaehee Kim, Sifan Liu +1
Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has been instrumental in tracking the spread and evolution of the virus during the pandemic. The availability of SARS-CoV-2 molecular sequences i…
Adaptive preferential sampling in phylodynamics
Lorenzo Cappello, Julia A. Palacios
Longitudinal molecular data of rapidly evolving viruses and pathogens provide information about disease spread and complement traditional surveillance approaches based on case coun…
Sequential importance sampling for multi-resolution Kingman-Tajima coalescent counting
Lorenzo Cappello, Julia A. Palacios
Statistical inference of evolutionary parameters from molecular sequence data relies on coalescent models to account for the shared genealogical ancestry of the samples. However, i…
Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation for Bayesian Nonparametric Phylodynamics
Julia A. Palacios, Vladimir N. Minin
The goal of phylodynamics, an area on the intersection of phylogenetics and population genetics, is to reconstruct population size dynamics from genetic data. Recently, a series of…
