Melding phylodynamic inference with molecular archeology to unravel the drivers of the pandemic emergence of HIV-1. KU Leuven
The analysis of viral genome data using evolutionary approaches has become a major asset in characterizing the epidemic dynamics of viruses. Fast-evolving viruses such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) can accumulate significant diversity over short time scales, leading to a genomic imprint of the ecological context in which it spreads. By statistically analysing these genetic differences, it is possible to identify the factors ...
