BAYESIAN PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF INFLUENZA A/H3N2 FOR THE 2014-15 SEASON IN THE UNITED STATES USING THREE FRAMEWORKS OF ANCESTRAL STATE RECONSTRUCTION.

Bayesian phylogeography of influenza A/H3N2 for the 2014-15 season in the United States using three frameworks of ancestral state reconstruction.

Ancestral state reconstructions in Bayesian phylogeography of virus pandemics have been improved by utilizing a Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS) framework.Recently, this framework has been extended to model the transition rate matrix between discrete states as a generalized linear model (GLM) of genetic, geographic, demographic

Genomic patterns of strain-specific genetic structure, linkage, and selection across fall armyworm populations

Abstract Background Molecular genetic approaches have become vital to understanding the evolutionary processes that act on insect pest populations.From mapping the development of resistance to monitoring and predicting pest movement, genomic tools can inform and enhance pest management programs.Here, we used whole genome sequencing population genom
