Genetics-Based Classification of Filoviruses Calls for Expanded Sampling of Genomic Sequences

Genetics-Based Classification of Filoviruses Calls for Expanded Sampling of Genomic Sequences

We have recently developed a computational approach for hierarchical, genome-based classification of viruses of a family (DEmARC). In DEmARC, virus clusters are delimited objectively by devising a universal family-wide threshold on intra-cluster genetic divergence of viruses that is specific for eac...
