The paper uses phylogenetic analysis to examine natural selection in zoonotic viruses, finding no evidence of pre-zoonotic adaptation for human transmission but detecting selection changes in the 1977 H1N1 reemergence.

Delphy provides a fast, scalable Bayesian phylogenetic analysis tool for outbreak tracking, achieving 1,000x speedups while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy.

The paper uses genomic analysis to show the Rwanda MVD outbreak originated from a single zoonotic event with limited human-to-human transmission.

Phydelity identifies transmission clusters in pathogen phylogenies without arbitrary distance thresholds, showing improved purity and lower misclassification in simulations and empirical datasets.

PhyCLIP provides a statistically principled phylogenetic clustering framework without arbitrary distance thresholds, improving resolution of pathogen subpopulations.
