Pandemic-Scale Phylogenomics Reveals Elevated Recombination Rates in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Region

Y. Turakhia, B. Thornlow, A. S. Hinrichs, J. Mcbroome, N. Ayala, C. Ye, N. De Maio, D. Haussler, R. Lanfear, R. Corbett-Detig

The paper develops a novel phylogenomic method to detect recombination events in SARS-CoV-2 genomes, identifying 606 recombination events across 1.6M samples with 2.7% of genomes showing recombinant ancestry, primarily in the Spike protein region.

Estimating the timing of multiple admixture pulses during local ancestry inference.

P. Medina, B. Thornlow, R. Nielsen, R. Corbett-Detig

This paper introduces a method to estimate multiple admixture events using coalescent theory and applies it to Drosophila melanogaster data, finding evidence for both recent and ancient admixture pulses.
