Inferring HIV Transmission Dynamics from Phylogenetic Sequence Relationships
Perspectives D espite the range of resources directed at understanding the HIV pandemic over the past 25 years, surprisingly little is known about how HIV infection spreads through populations. Unlike some other infectious diseases, acute infection with HIV is difficult to identify. HIV disease most often manifests years after the transmission event. Together with the special challenges involve...
متن کاملInferring phylogenetic relationships avoiding forbidden rooted triplets
To construct a phylogenetic tree or phylogenetic network for describing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a well-studied problem in computational biology. One previously proposed method to infer a phylogenetic tree/network for a large set of species is by merging a collection of known smaller phylogenetic trees on overlapping sets of species so that no (or as little as possible) b...
متن کاملInferring Relationships from Trajectory Data
Devices like smart phones and GPS navigators are very popular nowadays. These equipments can save the location of an object with an associated time, generating a new kind of data, called trajectories of moving objects. With these data it is possible to discover several interesting patterns, among which is the interaction between individuals, allowing to infer their relationship. This work addre...
متن کاملInference of Transmission Network Structure from HIV Phylogenetic Trees
Phylogenetic inference is an attractive means to reconstruct transmission histories and epidemics. However, there is not a perfect correspondence between transmission history and virus phylogeny. Both node height and topological differences may occur, depending on the interaction between within-host evolutionary dynamics and between-host transmission patterns. To investigate these interactions,...
متن کاملInferring influenza global transmission networks without complete phylogenetic information
Influenza is one of the most severe respiratory infections affecting humans throughout the world, yet the dynamics of its global transmission network are still contentious. Here, I describe a novel combination of phylogenetics, time series, and graph theory to analyze 14.25 years of data stratified in space and in time, focusing on the main target of the human immune response, the hemagglutinin...
