Viral taxonomy derived from evolutionary genome relationships.

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 in two genomes. Pairwise comparisons of genes from the vi...
