Estimates of dN, dS, and dN/dS are based on 10 Thai DENV-1 sequences.
Estimates are based on a sample of 80 E gene sequences.
Numbers in bold indicate cases where the dN/dS value for the genotype I clade replacement branches is greater than the mean dN/dS value for all branches of this particular gene tree.
