An Efficient Bayesian Inference Framework for Coalescent-Based Nonparametric Phylodynamics
Shiwei Lan, Julia A. Palacios, Michael Karcher +2
Phylodynamics focuses on the problem of reconstructing past population size dynamics from current genetic samples taken from the population of interest. This technique has been ext…
Synonymous and Nonsynonymous Distances Help Untangle Convergent Evolution and Recombination
Peter B. Chi, Sujay Chattopadhyay, Philippe Lemey +2
When estimating a phylogeny from a multiple sequence alignment, researchers often assume the absence of recombination. However, if recombination is present, then tree estimation an…
Phylogenetic Stochastic Mapping without Matrix Exponentiation
Jan Irvahn, Vladimir N. Minin
Phylogenetic stochastic mapping is a method for reconstructing the history of trait changes on a phylogenetic tree relating species/organisms carrying the trait. State-of-the-art m…
Quantifying evolutionary constraints on B cell affinity maturation
Connor O. McCoy, Trevor Bedford, Vladimir N. Minin +3
The antibody repertoire of each individual is continuously updated by the evolutionary process of B cell receptor mutation and selection. It has recently become possible to gain de…
Predictive Modeling of Cholera Outbreaks in Bangladesh
Amanda A. Koepke, Ira M. Longini, M. Elizabeth Halloran +2
Despite seasonal cholera outbreaks in Bangladesh, little is known about the relationship between environmental conditions and cholera cases. We seek to develop a predictive model f…
