SPREAD: spatial phylogenetic reconstruction of evolutionary dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY SPREAD is a user-friendly, cross-platform application to analyze and visualize Bayesian phylogeographic reconstructions incorporating spatial-temporal diffusion. The software maps phylogenies annotated with both discrete and continuous spatial information and can export high-dimensional posterior summaries to keyhole markup language (KML) for animation of the spatial diffusion through time in virtual globe software. In addition, SPREAD implements Bayes factor calculation to evaluate the support for hypotheses of historical diffusion among pairs of discrete locations based on Bayesian stochastic search variable selection estimates. SPREAD takes advantage of multicore architectures to process large joint posterior distributions of phylogenies and their spatial diffusion and produces visualizations as compelling and interpretable statistical summaries for the different spatial projections. AVAILABILITY SPREAD is licensed under the GNU Lesser GPL and its source code is freely available as a GitHub repository: https://github.com/phylogeography/SPREAD CONTACT: [email protected].

Spatiotemporal Phylogenetic Analysis and Molecular Characterisation of Infectious Bursal Disease Viruses Based on the VP2 Hyper-Variable Region
BACKGROUND Infectious bursal disease is a highly contagious and acute viral disease caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV); it affects all major poultry producing areas of the world. The current study was designed to rigorously measure the global phylogeographic dynamics of IBDV strains to gain insight into viral population expansion as well as the emergence, spread and pattern of...
متن کاملStack Based Fitness Evaluation for Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction Using Genetic Algorithm
The problem considered is the estimation of the evolutionary history of a collection of organisms in terms of a phylogenetic tree using genetic algorithm. This paper presents a new chromosome representation scheme for individuals in the population. A new stack based fitness evaluation method has been proposed to handle the populations generated in genetic algorithms. The problem of phylogenetic...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships of the commercial marine shrimp family Penaeidae from Persian Gulf
Phylogenetic relationships among all described species (total of 5 taxa) of the shrimp genus Penaeus, were examined with nucleotide sequence data from portions of mitochondrial gene and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). There are twelve commercial shrimp in the Iranian coastal waters. The reconstruction of the evolution phylogeny of these species is crucial in revealing stock identity that ca...

متن کاملThe foot-and-mouth disease RNA virus as a model in experimental phylogenetics.
Phylogenetic reconstruction methods are subject to two types of limitations: our knowledge about the true history of organisms and the gross simplification implied in the numerical simulation models of the relationships between them. In such a situation, experimental phylogenetics provides a way to assess the accuracy of the phylogenetic reconstruction methods. Nonetheless, this capacity is onl...
