Mean ratios of nonsynonymous (dN) to synonymous (dS) substitutions per site of concatenated coding regions of peste des petits ruminants virus genome. Proportion of dS substitutions per potential dS site and proportion of dN substitutions per potential dN site were calculated by using the method of Nei and Gojobori (29) and the suite of nucleotide analysis program (www.hiv.lanl.gov). Vertical dashed lines indicate gene junctions with sliding windows of size = 5 codons. dN/dS values ≥ 10 are show

Proportion of dS substitutions per potential dS site and proportion of dN substitutions per potential dN site were calculated by using the method of Nei and Gojobori (29) and the suite of nucleotide analysis program (www.hiv.lanl.gov). Vertical dashed lines indicate gene junctions with sliding windows of size = 5 codons. dN/dS values ≥ 10 are shown as 10. Numbers along baseline indicate coding regions (basepairs) of individual genes. N, nucleoprotein; P, phosphoprotein; M, matrix; F, fusion; H, hemagglutinin; L, large polymerase.
