Utility of DNA viruses for studying human host history: case study of JC virus.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Feb 2008

Kitchen Andrew, Miyamoto Michael M, Mulligan Connie J

Abstract excerpt

Microbial pathogens, and viruses in particular, can serve as important complements to traditional genetic markers when investigating the population histories of their human host. The range of mutation rates for DNA viruses suggests that DNA viruses can be useful markers of both recent and ancient events in their host histories. Here, we assess the utility of a well known DNA virus, JC virus (JCV), for...
