EpiLink: a simulation-based compatibility model for genomic transmission clustering in infectious disease surveillance

2026-06-20

Abstract excerpt

Identifying recently linked infections from pathogen genome sequences is central to infectious disease surveillance, yet many clustering approaches rely on fixed genetic distance thresholds whose relationship to transmission is often unclear. This limitation is especially important in rapidly growing outbreaks and superspreading events, where many cases may be sampled close together in time and share little geneti...
