Abstract: Properties useful for defining virus species are phenotypic properties of viruses that can be altered by a few mutations. Such properties include the natural host range, cell and tissue tropism, symptomatology, pathogenicity and mode of… read more here.

Abstract: We describe a new genome alignment-based model for understanding the diversity of viruses based on evolutionary genetic relationships. This approach uses information theory and a physical model to determine the information shared by the genes… read more here.
