The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein variant D614G supplanted the ancestral virus worldwide,
reaching near fixation in a matter of months. Here we show that D614G was more infectious …

INTRODUCTION We used genomic epidemiology to investigate the introduction and spread
of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the Boston area …

Although the recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in the Americas and its link to birth defects
have attracted a great deal of attention 1 , 2 , much remains unknown about ZIKV disease …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is causing an unprecedented epidemic linked to severe congenital abnormalities
1 , 2 . In July 2016, mosquito-borne ZIKV transmission was reported in the continental …

The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant rose to dominance in mid-2021, likely propelled by an
estimated 40%–80% increased transmissibility over Alpha. To investigate if this ostensible …

The 2013–2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic is caused by the Makona variant of
Ebola virus (EBOV). Early in the epidemic, genome sequencing provided insights into virus …

T cell-mediated immunity plays an important role in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the
repertoire of naturally processed and presented viral epitopes on class I human leukocyte …

Virus genome sequence variants that appear over the course of an outbreak can be exploited
to map the trajectory of the virus from one susceptible host to another. While such variants …
