Figure 6. Intra-time-point Shannon entropy of individual genes.
The Shannon entropy was calculated at single time point based on the amino acid sequences of individual genes. Panel A, the intra-time-point Shannon entropy of each gene compared according to the estimated year of infection. A significant correlation between the Shannon entropy and the estimated year of infection was found for E2, NS2, and NS5A genes. Panel B, the intra-time-point Shannon entropy of each gene compared according to the mild and severe disease status. No significant difference was found for the genes between the two disease groups.
