Estimates of the date of origin of the outbreak

We hope to accurately estimate the time of the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of the outbreak. This provides a conservative estimate of the epidemic's origin (the outbreak may be older than the TMRCA, but not younger).

Graphical Summary:

Genetic structure of the outbreak

Analyses posted here aim to reconstruct the epidemic and transmission history of the outbreak from sampled gene sequences. Current estimates are understandably uncertain, as limited time has elapsed since sampling of this epidemic began. As the epidemic proceeds, these analyses will become progressively more certain.

Current sampling of gene segments and distribution of differences from the consensus:

      Estimates of evolutionary rate

      These analyses aim to estimate rates of evolution of different flu genes, by analysis of previously sampled swine or human flu sequences. These rate estimates are important because the sampling times between sequences in the current epidemic are not yet sufficient to estimate an outbreak-specific evolutionary rate.
