Using Earth Mover’s Distance for Viral Outbreak Investigations

2019-05-06

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses mutate at extremely high rates forming an intra-host viral population of closely related variants (or quasi-species) [4]. High variability of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) making them particularly dangerous by allowing them to evade the host’s immune system. HIV and HCV outbreaks pose a significant problem for public health for solving which it is critical to infer tran...
