O'Neil et al. published a recent paper where they examined mutations in the HIV-1 long terminal repeats to determine the relative contribution of reverse transcriptase and RNA polymerase II to viral mutagenesis.

Leslie/Lefkovitch Matrix Models for Age or Stage-structured Populations

This excel workbook uses the Leslie matrix model for population projection of age-class structured populations, and also allows Lefkovitch matrix models for stage-class structured populations. The user enters age or stage specific fecundity and survival rates as well as the population’s initial proportions. The workbook calculates the matrix with corresponding eigenvalues for finite growth rate and eigenvectors for stable age/stage distribution and reproductive value. The graphical output included illustrates the stabilization of population structure, reproductive values and the finite rate of increase. It also includes exponential growth curves and semi-log plots of the population growth. The user can view population projections for four actual datasets.
