Bayesian Selection of Relaxed-clock Models:Distinguishing Between Independent and Autocorrelated Rates

This study evaluates Bayesian rate model selection in molecular-clock dating, showing convergence to correct models with more data and robustness to minor calibration errors, while introducing an approximation to improve computational efficiency.

Long term co-circulation of multiple arboviruses in southeast Australia revealed by xeno-monitoring of mosquitoes and metatranscriptomics

The paper uses xeno-monitoring and metatranscriptomics to detect and characterize arboviruses in mosquitoes from southeast Australia, revealing long-term co-circulation and lineage turnover.
