Phylogenetically resolving epidemiologic linkage.
Although the use of phylogenetic trees in epidemiological investigations has become commonplace, their epidemiological interpretation has not been systematically evaluated. Here, we use an HIV-1 within-host coalescent model to probabilistically evaluate transmission histories of two epidemiologically linked hosts. Previous critique of phylogenetic reconstruction has claimed that direction of tr...
متن کاملInferring Phylogenetically Conserved Motifs
The regulation of gene expression is a crucial biological process by which genes are turned on or off in the cell. Motifs are short sequence segments which occur in the genome are an important component of this process. Motifs which regulate gene expression are perhaps the second most sought after annotation from a newly sequenced genome after the identification of the protein-coding genes. A v...
متن کاملLinkage of Epidemiologic Evidence With the Clinical Aspects of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, glucose intolerance, high triglycerides, and a low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level. MetS is known to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. In order to diagnose MetS, definitions such as National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III, American Heart Ass...
متن کاملQuantifying phylogenetically structured environmental variation.
Comparative analysis methods control for the variation linked to phylogeny before attempting to correlate the remaining variation of a trait to present-day conditions (i.e., ecology and/or environment). A portion of the phylogenetic variation of the trait may be related to ecology, however; this portion is called "phylogenetic niche conservatism." We propose a method of variation partitioning t...
متن کاملCharacterizing phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage
Increasingly, biologists are constructing evolutionary trees on large numbers of overlapping sets of taxa, and then combining them into a ‘supertree’ that classifies all the taxa. In this paper, we ask how much coverage of the total set of taxa is required by these subsets in order to ensure that we have enough information to reconstruct the supertree uniquely. We describe two results — a combi...
