Inference with viral quasispecies diversity indices: clonal and NGS approaches
Given the inherent dynamics of a viral quasispecies, we are often interested in the comparison of diversity indices of sequential samples of a patient, or in the comparison of diversity indices of virus in groups of patients in a treated versus control design. It is then important to make sure that the diversity measures from each sample may be compared with no bias and within a consistent stat...
متن کاملReconstructing viral quasispecies from NGS amplicon reads
This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing viral quasispecies from next-generation sequencing reads obtained from amplicons (i.e., reads generated from predefined amplified overlapping regions). We compare the parsimonious and likelihood models for this problem and propose several novel assembling algorithms. The proposed methods have been validated on simulated error-free HCV and real ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Inference of Viral Quasispecies Subject to Recombination
RNA viruses exist in their hosts as populations of different but related strains. The virus population, often called quasispecies, is shaped by a combination of genetic change and natural selection. Genetic change is due to both point mutations and recombination events. We present a jumping hidden Markov model that describes the generation of viral quasispecies and a method to infer its paramet...
متن کاملMemory in viral quasispecies.
Biological adaptive systems share some common features: variation among their constituent elements and continuity of core information. Some of them, such as the immune system, are endowed with memory of past events. In this study we provide direct evidence that evolving viral quasispecies possess a molecular memory in the form of minority components that populate their mutant spectra. The exper...
متن کاملViral quasispecies evolution.
Evolution of RNA viruses occurs through disequilibria of collections of closely related mutant spectra or mutant clouds termed viral quasispecies. Here we review the origin of the quasispecies concept and some biological implications of quasispecies dynamics. Two main aspects are addressed: (i) mutant clouds as reservoirs of phenotypic variants for virus adaptability and (ii) the internal inter...
