Examining the molecular clock hypothesis for the contemporary evolution of the rabies virus

2023-09-04

Abstract excerpt

The molecular clock hypothesis assumes that mutations accumulate on an organism’s genome at a constant rate over time, but this assumption does not always hold true. While modelling approaches exist to accommodate deviations from a strict molecular clock, assumptions about rate variation may not fully represent the underlying evolutionary processes. There is considerable variability in rabies virus (RABV) incubati...
