Charting the host adaptation of influenza viruses.
(2011-06)
Four influenza pandemics have struck the human population during the last 100 years causing substantial morbidity and mortality. The pandemics were caused by the introduction of a new virus into the human population from ...
Estimating the distribution of selection coefficients from phylogenetic data using sitewise mutation-selection models.
(2012-03)
Estimation of the distribution of selection coefficients of mutations is a long-standing issue in molecular evolution. In addition to population-based methods, the distribution can be estimated from DNA sequence data by ...
RelTime Rates Collapse to a Strict Clock When Estimating the Timeline of Animal Diversification.
(2017-05-01)
Establishing an accurate timescale for the history of life is crucial to understand evolutionary processes. For this purpose, relaxed molecular clock models implemented in a Bayesian MCMC framework are generally used. ...
Bayesian Molecular Clock Dating Using Genome-Scale Datasets.
(2019)
Bayesian methods for molecular clock dating of species divergences have been greatly developed during the past decade. Advantages of the methods include the use of relaxed-clock models to describe evolutionary rate variation ...
