Collaborative Research: eMB: Next-generation phylodynamics: theory, algorithms, applicatio — NSF Award to University of Pennsylvan
Viruses experience frequent small random changes in their genetic material, their genomes. Because many of the changes in the viruses that infect one animal happen independently of those that happen in another animal, one can compare the genomes of sampled viruses to glean information about how far and fast an epidemic

| Abstract | Viruses experience frequent small random changes in their genetic material, their genomes. Because many of the changes in the viruses that infect one animal happen independently of those that happen in another animal, one can compare the genomes of sampled viruses to glean information about how far and fast an epidemic is spreading. This is known as phylodynamics. This project will develop new mathematical and computational tools to allow us to extract more information about how a virus is movin |
