Number and percentage of each subtype is shown. WT data are from the study by Jusuf and Harris (2009). No., Number. Statistically significant at *p < 0.005.

aSubtypes that are underrepresented by at least a factor of two. Bold represents the five subtypes that are underrepresented in both lineages.
