- Average pairwise number of nonsynonymous (d
N
) and synonymous (d
S
) substitutions per nonsynonymous and synonymous site, respectively, estimated at different categories of epitope and non-epitope regions among reference sequences of M group are given.
- # Standard errors were estimated with 100 bootstrap replications in MEGA4.
- * In pairwise t-tests, the null hypothesis of dS = dN was rejected in all four comparisons.
