MicrobeTrace: Retooling molecular epidemiology for rapid public health response
Fig 2
MicrobeTrace excels at rendering pathogen genetic distance networks and mapping visual characteristics to user-provided metadata.
(2A) The HIV-1 partial polymerase (pol) distance network, with a genetic distance threshold (d) of 1.5%. (2B) The same HIV-1 pol network shown in 3A with node positions held constant, but with a more stringent genetic distance threshold (d) of 0.5%. (2C) The same HIV-1 pol network shown in 3A with node positions held constant. Nearest connected neighbor links have been superimposed as dashed lines. The transparency of links that do not connect nearest neighbors has been increased. Gender and transmission risk factors have been mapped to node shape and color, respectively.
