Abstract excerpt
In evolving populations where the rate of beneficial mutations is large, subpopulations of individuals with competing beneficial mutations can be maintained over long times. Evolution with this kind of clonal structure is commonly observed in a wide range of microbial and viral populations. However, it can be difficult to completely resolve clonal dynamics in data. This is due to limited read lengths in...
