TABLE 3.

Nucleotide substitution rate and TMRCA estimates for the family Luteoviridae using different CP data sets and an empirical prior distribution of 6 × 10⁻⁴ subs/site/year

Data seta	Mean sub rateb (range)c	Difference at codon position:			Mean TMRCAe (range)
		1d	2d	3d
CP	4.3 × 10−4 (2.6 × 10−4-6.1 × 10−4)	0.99	0.51	1.50	1,732 (3,229 to 815)
CP3′	4.5 × 10−4 (2.8 × 10−4-6.2 × 10−4)	0.70	0.43	1.87	1,761 (3,583 to 877)
CPov	4.5 × 10−4 (2.7 × 10−4-6.3 × 10−4)	0.78	0.47	1.75	2,007 (3,088 to 805)

^aCP, complete coat protein nucleotide sequence (636 nt); CP3′, 421 nt of the 3′ end of the coat protein gene; CPov, 363 nt from the center of the coat protein gene (nt 216 to 579).

^bSub rate, nucleotide substitution rate (subs/site/year).

^cThe 95% HPD values are given.

^dDifference between the substitution rate and the overall mean substitution rate.

^eTMRCA, years.
