New Research Publication: Molecular Biology and Evolution

How do ancient microbes become modern pathogens? 🌍

A new study by our very own Sishuo Wang and collaborator Andrew Meade introduces a sophisticated method for complex mixture substitution models in molecular clock dating.

Their empirical analysis suggests that pathogens affecting humans and animals today actually transitioned from ancient protist hosts. This research highlights the critical need to monitor environmentally distributed microbes as potential future health threats.

Kudos to Sishuo and the team for this insightful work!
