Mapping uncertainty and model exploration for Avian influenza A-H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) and neuroaminidase (NA) genes.

We report the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the posterior and prior location distributions of the root and the GsGD most recent common ancestor (MRCA), as well as a phylogeographic association index. We analyze genes independently, assuming equal phylogeographic models (Shared) and by fixing the HA phylogeny through phylogeographic models with prior rates proportional to a constant (C) or distance-informed (DI) and using Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS).
