Big Data, Small Microbes: Genomic analysis of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis

In this thesis, I focus on how DNA from the plague bacterium can be used to estimate where and when this disease appeared in the past. To do so, I reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between modern and ancient strains of plague, using publicly available data and new DNA sequences retrieved from the skeletal remains of plague victims in Denmark.
