Revealing Reassortment in Influenza A Viruses with TreeSort

Abstract excerpt

Reassortment among influenza A viruses (IAV) facilitates evolution and has been associated with interspecies transmission and pandemics. We introduce a novel tool called TreeSort that accurately identifies recent and ancestral reassortment events on datasets with thousands of IAV whole genomes. TreeSort uses the phylogeny of a selected IAV segment as a reference and finds the branches on the phylogeny where...
