Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) afflicts 170 million people and kills 700 000 annually. Vaccination offers the most realistic and cost effective hope of controlling this epidemic, but despite 25 years of research, no vaccine is available. A major obstacle is HCV's extreme genetic variability and rapid mutational escape from immune pressure. Coupling maximum entropy inference with population dynamics simulations, we have...
