Coronavirus phylogenetics
In this lab, we’ll use Nextstrain to explore the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and then build our own coronavirus phylogenies within R.
Learning objectives
After completing this chapter, you’ll be able to:
- Interpret viral phylogenies and associated data on Nextstrain.
- Explain how incomplete sampling affects phylogenies.
- Describe how phylogenetic trees are built through neighbor joining.
