The distribution of pairwise genetic distances: a tool for investigating disease transmission.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2014

Worby Colin J, Chang Hsiao-Han, Hanage William P, Lipsitch Marc

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome sequencing of pathogens has recently been used to investigate disease outbreaks and is likely to play a growing role in real-time epidemiological studies. Methods to analyze high-resolution genomic data in this context are still lacking, and inferring transmission dynamics from such...
