PTLV evolutionary rates1 at 1st + 2nd codon positions of different gene regions assuming a Bayesian relaxed molecular clock.
| Gene region | α-parameter (Γ-distribution)2 |
Mean rate | Median rate | 95% HPD |
| gag | 0.23 (0.168 – 0.303) | 3.02 × 10-7 | 2.89 × 10-7 | 1.65 – 4.78 × 10-7 |
| pol | 0.417 (0.356 – 0. 475) | 7.92 × 10-7 | 7.57 × 10-7 | 3.93 – 12.7 × 10-7 |
| env | 0.29 (0.228 – 0.359) | 4.08 × 10-7 | 3.9 × 10-7 | 2.25 – 6.44 × 10-7 |
| tax | 0.311 (0.215 – 0.421) | 4.32 × 10-7 | 4.17 × 10-7 | 2.34 – 6.47 × 10-7 |
1 Evolutionary rate is in nucleotide substitutions/site/year.
