A novel exploratory method for visual recombination detection

Item Type:Article
Title:A novel exploratory method for visual recombination detection
Creators Name:Strimmer, K. and Forslund, K. and Holland, B. and Moulton, V.
Abstract:A versatile visual approach for detecting recombination and identifying recombination breakpoints within a sequence alignment is presented. The method is based on two novel diagrams - the highway plot and the occupancy plot - that graphically portray phylogenetic inhomogeneity along an alignment, and can be viewed as a synthesis of two widely used but unrelated methods: bootscanning and quartet-mapping. To illustrate the method, simulated data and HIV-1 and influenza A datasets are investigated.
