Inferring pandemic growth rates from sequence data
Using sequence data to infer population dynamics is playing an increasing role in the analysis of outbreaks. The most common methods in use, based on coalescent inference, have been widely used but not extensively tested against simulated epidemics. Here, we use simulated data to test the ability of both parametric and non-parametric methods for inference of effective population size (coded in ...
متن کاملEstimating hypermutation rates from clonal tree data.
To understand the mechanisms underlying the varying patterns of mutations that occur during immune and autoimmune responses, estimates of the somatic hypermutation rate are critical. However, despite its significance, precise estimates of the mutation rate do not currently exist. Microdissection studies of mutating B cell clones provide an opportunity to measure this rate more accurately than p...
متن کاملThe population genetics of clonal and partially clonal diploids.
The consequences of variable rates of clonal reproduction on the population genetics of neutral markers are explored in diploid organisms within a subdivided population (island model). We use both analytical and stochastic simulation approaches. High rates of clonal reproduction will positively affect heterozygosity. As a consequence, nearly twice as many alleles per locus can be maintained and...
متن کاملInferring Process from Pattern In Fungal Population Genetics
Our focus in this review is on powerful new methods for determining population patterning over time and space and how from this, the dynamic processes leading to population divergence and speciation can be inferred. We focus on fungal populations, but draw from the wider literature on population genetics, evolutionary statistics, and, of course, phylogeography (see Avise, 2000). We discuss the ...
متن کاملIrish Population Prospects Considered from the Viewpoint of Reproduction Rates
In a paper 1 which I read before the Society in November, 1935, prognostics were given of the trend of population during the next century on two sets of hypotheses : (1) that the number of births would remain constant, and (2) that the a fecundity rate " would remain constant. Mortality experience as in 1925-27 was assumed to prevail throughout and migration was ignored. The population in the y...
