Abstract excerpt
As demonstrated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the emergence of novel viral strains with increased transmission rates poses a serious threat to global health. Statistical models of genome sequence evolution may provide a critical tool for early detection of these strains. Using a novel stochastic model that links transmission rates to the entire viral genome sequence, we study the utility of phylogenetic methods...
