Phylogenetic network reconstruction reveals reassortment signatures at segment and genotype levels in human Rotavirus A

This study uses Bayesian phylogenetic networks to analyze reassortment patterns in human Rotavirus A segments, finding changes in reassortment rates and genotype compatibility over time.

Molecular and ecological determinants of effective reassortment in orthohantaviruses

The paper investigates factors determining effective reassortment in orthohantaviruses, finding that ecological overlap and molecular compatibility are key for reassortant establishment.

Frequent seasonal reassortment between high and low path viruses drives the diversification of influenza A/H5N1

The paper shows that seasonal reassortment between high and low pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 viruses drives genotype diversification, with ducks, geese, and the Central flyway as key sources.

Evidence of latency reshapes our understanding of Ebola virus reservoir dynamics

This study models latency in Ebola virus using a novel phylogenetic approach, finding evidence of extended quiescence in the reservoir, which changes understanding of its evolutionary history and geographic spread.

Improving the Scalability of Bayesian Phylodynamic Inference through Efficient MCMC Proposals

This paper introduces improved MCMC proposal distributions for Bayesian phylodynamic inference, enhancing scalability and reducing convergence time in phylogenetic analysis.
