SARS Epidemic

There are several phylogenetic tree construction
methods that can be used to illustrate the spread of disease
epidemics. One of the methods used is probability-based
maximum likelihood. This paper explains how to identify the
spread of the SARS epidemic in the world using the formation of
phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood method. The
output obtained was a description of the spread of SARS virus
with the selection of tree candidates after performing a heuristic
search of the Stepwise Addition method. The result of the research
