Abstract excerpt
The JCV and BKV viruses have been used as markers for the study of human evolution by assuming that these viruses coevolved with their host. However, it is currently unclear whether the details of the population expansion of these viruses and humans agree. To study this in more detail, large numbers of complete genomes were used for population genetic tests to detect evidence for population expansion. Relative to...
