Impact of weakly conserved alignment regions and selection of capsid proteins on the GENETIC classification. Frequency distributions of ∼760,000 PED values formed by 1,234 picornaviruses are shown for the following evaluation data sets: a data set containing only highly conserved alignment regions (blocks) of the main data set (A), and a data set containing only the three capsid proteins 1B, 1C, and 1D (B). The goodness-of-fit values are 0.987 and 0.992, respectively. For details see Materials and Methods and Fig. 4.
