Testing the Reliability of Genetic Methods of Species Identification via Simulation (2008)

Ross, Howard A., Murugan, Sumathi, Sibon Li, Wai Lok

Although genetic methods of species identification, especially DNA barcoding, are strongly debated, tests of these methods have been restricted to a few empirical cases for pragmatic reasons. Here we...

Sources of variation in ancestral sequence reconstruction for HIV-1 envelope genes (2006)

Howard A. Ross, David C. Nickle, Yi Liu, Laura Heath, Mark A. Jensen, Allen G. Rodrigo, ...

We characterized the variation in the reconstructed ancestor of 118 HIV-1 envelope gene sequences arising from the methods used for (a) estimating and (b) rooting the phylogenetic tree, and (c)...

Inferring Evolutionary Rates Using Serially Sampled Sequences from Several Populations (2003)

Rodrigo, Allen G., Goode, Matthew, Forsberg, Roald, Ross, Howard A., Drummond, Alexei

The estimation of evolutionary rates from serially sampled sequences has recently been the focus of several studies. In this paper, we extend these analyses to allow the estimation of a joint rate of...

Immune-Mediated Positive Selection Drives Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Molecular Variation and Predicts Disease Duration

Ross, Howard A., Rodrigo, Allen G.

Using likelihood-based evolutionary methods, we demonstrate that the broad genetic diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in an infected individual is a consequence of site-specific...

Epidemiology, Genetic Diversity, and Evolution of Endemic Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in a Population of Wild Cougars

Biek, Roman, Rodrigo, Allen G., Holley, David, Drummond, Alexei, Anderson, Charles R., Ross, Howard A., ...

Within the large body of research on retroviruses, the distribution and evolution of endemic retroviruses in natural host populations have so far received little attention. In this study, the...

Feline Lentivirus Evolution in Cross-Species Infection Reveals Extensive G-to-A Mutation and Selection on Key Residues in the Viral Polymerase

Poss, Mary, Ross, Howard A., Painter, Sally L., Holley, David C., Terwee, Julie A., VandeWoude, Sue, ...

Factors that restrict a virus from establishing productive infection in a new host species are important to understand because cross-species transmission events are often associated with emergent...
