Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and...
Sampling bias and incorrect rooting make phylogenetic network tracing of SARS-COV-2 infections unreliable
PNAS 22d 10 tweets
There is obvious interest in gaining insights into the epidemiology and evolution of the virus that has recently emerged in humans as the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The recent paper by Forster et al. (1) analyzed 160...

Median-joining network analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes is neither phylogenetic nor evolutionary
PNAS 22d 6 tweets
Tracking the spread of pandemics and the evolution of the underlying pathogens are effective tools for managing deadly outbreaks. Forster et al. (1) use a median-joining (MJ) network (MJN) and its Steinerization process to investigate the evolution...
