Bayesian reconstruction of disease outbreaks by combining epidemiologic and genomic data.

Abstract excerpt

Recent years have seen progress in the development of statistically rigorous frameworks to infer outbreak transmission trees ("who infected whom") from epidemiological and genetic data. Making use of pathogen genome sequences in such analyses remains a challenge, however, with a variety of heuristic approaches having been explored to date.
