However, many pathogens (particularly viruses) undergo frequent recombination and the phylogenetic methods commonly applied to detect positive selection have been shown to give misleading results when applied to recombining sequences. We propose a method that makes maximum likelihood inference of positive selection robust to the presence of recombination. This is achieved by allowing tree topologies and branch lengths to change across detected recombination breakpoints. Further improvements are obtained by allowing synonymous substitution rates to vary across sites.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Using simulation we show that, even for extreme cases where recombination causes standard methods to reach false positive rates &amp;gt;90%, the proposed method decreases the false positive rate to acceptable levels while retaining high power. We applied the method to two HIV-1 datasets for which we have previously found that inference of positive selection is invalid owing to high rates of recombination. In one of these (env gene) we still detected positive selection using the proposed method, while in the other (gag gene) we found no significant evidence of positive selection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Availability: A HyPhy batch language implementation of the proposed methods and the HIV-1 datasets analysed are available at . The HyPhy package is available at , and it is planned that the proposed methods will be included in the next distribution.
