Repertoire-wide phylogenetic models of B cell molecular evolution reveal evolutionary signatures of aging and vaccination

In order to produce effective antibodies, B cells undergo rapid somatic hypermutation (SHM) and selection for binding affinity to antigen via a process called affinity maturation. The similarities between this process and evolution by natural selection have led many groups to use phylogenetic method...
