Prisoner of War dynamics explains the time-dependent pattern of substitution rates in viruses

2021-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Molecular clock dating is widely used to estimate timescales of phylogenetic histories and to infer rates at which species evolve. One of the major challenges with inferring rates of molecular evolution is the observation of a strong correlation between estimated rates and the timeframe of their measurements. Recent empirical analysis of virus evolutionary rates suggest that a power-law rate decay best explains th...
