The basic idea in this paper is that if you assume constant&lt;br /&gt;
rate of mutational drift in different segments of the same strain (an&lt;br /&gt;
assumption that seems to be true on a coarse level for some segments, but&lt;br /&gt;
not for others), then given two non-reassorted strains, the nucleotide&lt;br /&gt;
differences between their NA segments should be roughly proportional to&lt;br /&gt;
that from the HA segments and they use that as a test to identify putative&lt;br /&gt;
reassortments. They use a vaguely described idea to figure out which&lt;br /&gt;
combination of segments have reassorted (probably done manually) and they&lt;br /&gt;
seem to make no attempt to figure out if a set of taxa have reassorted&lt;br /&gt;
based on a common event. Finally, there is no evaluation of the capability&lt;br /&gt;
of this method - just a list of results which seem to clearly miss the&lt;br /&gt;
reassortments we already know of. In fact, in the abstract, they make the &lt;br /&gt;
claim that they find all the reassortments from earlier works.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Report for March 2nd, 2009&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tasks]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Made more updates to my webpage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Started making a presentation for my job talk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Assisted Carl in writing a grant proposal to extend on our work on reassortments in the Flu genome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Papers Read]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. [Non-random reassortment in human influenza A viruses]&lt;br /&gt;
R. Rabadan, A.J. Levine and M. Krasnitz. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic idea in this paper is that if you assume constant&lt;br /&gt;
rate of mutational drift in different segments of the same strain (an&lt;br /&gt;
assumption that seems to be true on a coarse level for some segments, but&lt;br /&gt;
not for others) then given two non-reassorted strains the nucleotide&lt;br /&gt;
differences between their NA segments should be roughly proportional to&lt;br /&gt;
that from the HA segments and they use that as a test to identify putative&lt;br /&gt;
reassortments. They use a vaguely described idea to figure out which&lt;br /&gt;
combination of segments have reassorted (probably done manually) and they&lt;br /&gt;
seem to make no attempt to figure out if a set of taxa have reassorted&lt;br /&gt;
based on a common event. Finally, there is no evaluation of the capability&lt;br /&gt;
of this method, just a list of results which seem to clearly miss the&lt;br /&gt;
reassortments we already know of! In fact they make the claim that they&lt;br /&gt;
find all the reassortments from earlier works, in the abstract!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
