The rapid rates of viral evolution allow us to reconstruct the recent history of viruses in great
detail. This feature, however, also results in rapid erosion of evolutionary signal within viral …

Molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized the study of not only evolution but also disparate
fields such as genomics, bioinformatics, epidemiology, ecology, microbiology, molecular …

Among the most fundamental questions in viral evolutionary biology are how fast viruses
evolve and how evolutionary rates differ among viruses and fluctuate through time …

Introduction The high recombinogenic potential of HIV-1 has resulted in the generation of
countless unique recombinant forms (URFs) and around 120 reported circulating …

HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance (TDR) is of increasing public health concern in sub-
