- Pathogen genomes can provide insights into underlying disease transmission patterns but new methods are needed to analyze large genome datasets. Our work using identical pathogen sequences to characterize fine scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission was just published in @nature.com tinyurl.com/bdzk9xjj 🥳
- Genetic proximity between infecting viruses indicates epidemiological linkage. Here, we introduce a relative risk (RR) metric that quantifies how the number of pairs of identical sequences in two groups differs from what we expect from the sequencing effort. 2/
