Viruses are as old as life itself, infecting everything from bacteria to humans. Since the very beginning, viruses have left an indelible imprint on the human genome, human history, and medical research. SARS-CoV-2, the viral pathogen responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, is just the latest in a long line of highly impactful human pathogens, including smallpox, Influenza A virus (IAV) and HIV-1. By some estimates, close to 30% of human proteins are involved in combating viral infections.

1/7/2023From Drabeck et el "Tall" dataset. This dataset has unusual dimensions: short (30) codons and relatively many (199) sequences. This creates some statistical issues that could potentially be impactful. Many branch lengths are =0 (for example, HyPhy collapses 130 internal tree branches because they are 0). This is not biologically realistic. If possible, it would be better to estimate branch lengths from a longer gene alignment, even if not all species are present. The precision with which non-0 branch lengths are estimated is degraded (likely biased). This could create downstream issues with all method. Methods which draw power from sequence length (e.g. aBSREL, BUSTED, and also PAML), are going to suffer power loss. Basic data exploration.
9/19/2022What you need: A labeled tree. Something like this Parameter settings. We are going to basically ignore everything except ω distributions here Foreground distribution (3 bins) Background distribution (3 bins) Suggested distributions are below. Simulated data. For this, we can use https://github.com/veg/hyphy-analyses/tree/master/SimulateMG94 An example call (notice how the distribution is specified; the one here is ω = 0.1 (weight 0.5), ω = 0.5 (weight 0.3), ω = 1 (weight 0.2)) would be hyphy ~/Development/hyphy-analyses/SimulateMG94/SimulateMG94.bf --model BS-REL --tree marine.txt --output sims/BSREL --replicates 100 --branch-variation bs-rel --omegas 0.1,0.5,0.5,0.3,1,0.2 --omegas-Foreground 0.1,0.5,0.5,0.3,1,0.2
