Abstract excerpt
DNA sequencing and molecular phylogenetics are increasingly being used in virology laboratories to study the transmission of viruses. By reconstructing the evolutionary history of viral genomes the behaviour of viral populations can be modelled, and the future of epidemics may be forecast. The manner in which such viral DNA sequences are analysed is the focus of this review. Many researchers resort to the...
