Bayesian inference of reassortment networks reveals fitness benefits of reassortment in human influenza viruses
6 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Reassortment is an important source of genetic diversity in segmented viruses and is the main source of novel pathogenic influenza viruses. Despite this, studying the reassortment process has been constrained by the lack of a coherent, model-based inference framework. Here, we introduce a coalescent-based model that allows us to explicitly model the joint coalescent and reassortment process. In order to perform...
