Genetics - 1 May 2017

Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic methods have shown promise in understanding the development of broadly neutralizing antibody lineages (bNAbs). However, the mutational process that generates these lineages, somatic hypermutation, is biased by hotspot motifs which violates important assumptions in most phylogenetic substitution models. Here, we develop a modified GY94-type substitution model that partially accounts for this context...
