We have done a sort of blog post/tutorial on local molecular clocks to look at an interesting latency phenomenon in Ebola virus in non-human hosts. This is work in progress based on genomes published recently by DRC/INRB from current and recent outbreaks. http://beast.community/ebov_local_clocks.html …

Question - latency up to beginning of outbreak makes sense, but that hypothesis can be directly tested (given data). I.e., what's the clock within each of the two DRC outbreaks? I assume probably the same as other outbreaks? (i.e., close to larger tree).

If yes, then we know that latency is a function of the (reservoir?) host, and not actually something intrinsic to a particular (DRC) Ebola virus lineage. Completely what we would expect, but nice to explicitly test (especially given, ehm, certain papers...).
