This study shows that incorporating within-host genetic diversity improves phylogenetic and transmission reconstruction of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.

This paper develops a method to detect homoplasy in SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic trees and finds that phylogenetics provides limited support for convergent evolution.

This study uses whole genome sequencing of HSV-1 from CSF and skin lesions to identify selective constraints and recombination patterns in neurotropic viruses.

The paper identifies a novel protease inhibitor resistance signature in HIV-1 matrix through genotypic and phenotypic analysis of patients failing PI therapy.

This paper shows that GII.4 noroviruses preadapt and circulate undetected for years before causing a new pandemic, with changes in host immunity enabling spread rather than genetic changes alone.
