Experimental Evolution to Study Virus Emergence

Publication date: 23 March 2017

Author(s): Nathan D. Grubaugh, Kristian G. Andersen
Understanding how viruses adapt to new environments and acquire new phenotypes is critical for developing comprehensive responses to outbreaks. By studying the emergence of vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks, Stern et al. describe how a combination of sequence analysis and experimental evolution can be used to reveal adaptive pathways.
