News
The BEAST software package has its own website: http://beast.bio.ed.ac.uk
We now have a site for posting analyses and news about emerging infectious diseases: http://epidemic.bio.ed.ac.uk/. This includes a new section on the novel human 2c genotype coronavirus.
A special issue of Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. B on “Next Generation Molecular & Evolutionary Epidemiology of Infectious Disease” is now available:
