Summary statistics for each sequence sample set

Sample Days from first sample No. of sequences Average pairwise diversity, % θ N
1 0 13 3.6 0.088 1100
2 214 15 3.9 0.106 1325
3 671 15 5.0 0.074 925
4 699 9 4.2 0.144 1800
5 1005 8 4.1 0.092 1150

Average pairwise diversity was estimated by calculating Felsenstein-81 maximum-likelihood evolutionary distances (36) between every possible pair of sequences and averaging these. Effective population size, N, was estimated by dividing θ by 2μ where μ = 4 × 10−5 mutations per site per generation.
