Accurate Detection of Convergent Mutations in Large Protein Alignments with ConDor

The paper introduces ConDor, a method to detect convergent mutations in protein alignments by combining phylogenetic simulation and comparative analysis, showing improved accuracy on large datasets.

Distinct evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB and BA.2.86/JN.1 lineages combining increased fitness and antibody evasion

This study characterizes SARS-CoV-2 variants XBB and BA.2.86/JN.1, finding they show increased fitness and antibody evasion while maintaining antiviral sensitivity.

APOBEC3F is the main source of editing identified during the 2022 outbreak of human monkeypox virus

The paper identifies APOBEC3F as the main source of hypermutation in MPXV during the 2022 outbreak, showing its role in generating G->A mutations and subsequent viral evolution.

Enhanced neutralization escape to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineages

This study evaluates the neutralizing activity of monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineages and finds reduced efficacy against several variants.

Considerable escape of SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron to antibody neutralization

This study shows that the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is resistant to most monoclonal antibodies and vaccine-induced antibodies, with reduced neutralization compared to Delta.

Distribution and asymptotic behavior of the phylogenetic transfer distance

The paper analyzes the transfer distance and its normalization constant in phylogenetic trees, showing its asymptotic behavior and statistical significance.

Boosting Felsenstein Phylogenetic Bootstrap

The paper revises Felsensteins bootstrap method to improve support values for deep branches in large phylogenies without creating false supports.
