Phylogenetic Analysis and Molecular Epidemiology
Interns will construct and interpret phylogenetic trees from viral genome sequences to trace transmission chains and outbreak origins. They will use tools like BEAST and IQ-TREE to understand evolutionary relationships between isolates and identify geographic and temporal patterns of viral spread.

Mutation Analysis and Functional Annotation
Interns will analyze mutations across viral genomes to identify recurrent changes, hotspots, and their potential functional consequences. They will annotate variants in coding and non-coding regions, predict effects on viral proteins, and correlate mutations with phenotypic traits like transmissibility or antiviral resistance.

Comparative Genomics of Viral Strains in Outbreak Clusters
Interns will perform comparative analysis of genomes from related viral strains to identify genetic markers distinguishing outbreak clusters from endemic circulation. This includes SNP calling, synteny analysis, and recombination detection across viral populations.

Real-time Surveillance Data Integration and Reporting
Interns will develop workflows to integrate NGS data with epidemiological metadata for outbreak surveillance and generate comprehensive reports. They will create visualizations of sequence diversity, spatial distribution maps, and temporal trends to support rapid public health decision-making during viral outbreaks.
