Fig. 1From: Efficient detection of viral transmissions with Next-Generation Sequencing dataTransmission detection overview. In this example, there are 3 samples: Pi contains 3 different sequences, Pj contains 4 and Pk contains 3. In addition, Pi and Pj are related, whereas Pk is unrelated to the other two. A total of 33 pairwise sequence comparisons must be performed to find the minimal distance between each pair of samples. The rationale of our approach is to quickly remove the sample-pair comparisons with zero probability of having a minimal distance lower than TBack to article page
