Bio Epidemiological Genomics Phylodynamics

About this skill

Estimates time-scaled phylogenies, molecular clock rates, effective reproduction number Re (or Rt), and population dynamics from dated pathogen genomes using TreeTime (maximum-likelihood) and BEAST2 (Bayesian; strict / uncorrelated lognormal / ORC clocks; constant / exponential / Bayesian Skyline / Skygrid / BICEPS / Birth-Death-Skyline / sampled-ancestor BDSKY priors; structured coalescent via MASCOT). Covers root-to-tip clock signal QC via TempEst, date-randomisation tests (Ramsden 2009; Duchêne 2015), recombination masking via Gubbins and ClonalFrameML before clock inference for recombining bacteria, BDSKY origin-vs-rootHeight pitfalls, sampling-bias correction (Volz & Frost 2014; preferential-sampling extensions), MASCOT structured coalescent for migration, BICEPS-vs-BSP skyline choice, multi-chain BEAST2 convergence diagnostics, and reconciliation between phylodynamic Re and case-based Rt.

Original description
