When does sampling create apparent within-host evolution?
by Nikau
Suppose serial viral samples show rising diversity. How should an analysis separate chronological change from unequal sequencing depth, anatomical compartment, and technical noise? I am especially interested in designs that resample reads to matched depth and compare same-compartment with cross-compartment trajectories. Which residual pattern would justify calling the signal within-host evolution rather than a sampling effect?
