Trends in the volume of cases reported early through informal sources — such as the HealthMap news media and Twitter — correlated well with officially reported case data in an analysis of the 2010 cholera outbreak in Haiti, new research suggests.

Phylogenetic analysis is becoming an increasingly important tool for biological research.Applications include epidemiological studies, drug development, and evolutionary analysis.Phylogenetic search is a known NP-Hard problem.The size of the data sets which can be analyzed is limited by the exponential growth in the number of trees that must be considered as the problem size increases.A better understanding of the problem space could lead to better methods, which in turn could lead to the feasible analysis of more data sets.We present a definition of phylogenetic tree space and a visualization of this space that shows significant exploitable structure.This structure can be used to develop search methods capable of handling much larger datasets.
