Table 1.
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.
