Figure 5. Variable frequencies of UA & UU dinucleotides within HCV RNA ORFs.

Figure 5

The predicted and observed UA and UU dinucleotides frequencies for 162 HCV RNA ORFs were plotted from lowest to highest observed frequencies (isolates identified in Supplemental Data Tables 1S & 2S). Predicted UA & UU frequencies were derived using Method 1 (Black circles). For observed UA & UU dinucleotide frequencies, points on the line are colored based on the genotype of each HCV RNA ORF: red, genotype 1; blue, genotype 2 or 3; yellow, genotype 4-6. Note that HCV genotype 2 and 3 strains tend to have substantially more UA and UU dinucleotides than HCV genotype 1 strains.
