Table 3. Recombination rates inferred by ClonalFrame on separate lineages.
| Lineage | Number of ST's* | Fixed value of θ | ρ | r/m | ρ/θ |
| Lineage 1 | 30 | 18.0 | 23.80 (CI: 12.33–40.02) | 3.18 (CI: 1.73–5.16) | 1.33 (CI: 0.67–2.23) |
| Lineage 2 | 31 | 22.5 | 5.71 (CI: 2.62–10.52) | 1.37 (CI: 0.65–2.48) | 0.25 (CI: 0.11–0.46) |
| Lineage 3 | 32 | 21.5 | 15.87 (CI: 8.23–26.25) | 2.61 (CI: 1.40–4.17) | 0.74 (CI: 0.38–1.18) |
| All STs | 116 | 30.0 | 46.20 (CI: 33.57–62.40) | 4.73 (CI: 3.53–6.23) | 1.54 (CI: 1.12–2.08) |
All values are the mean of 5 independent runs with their 95% credibility interval (CI) given in brackets.
*
: STs with admixture were removed from the lineage-specific analysis but were present for the global analysis of all STs. For lineage 2, STs with ambiguous phylogenetic position (ST93, ST94, ST38 and ST39) were also removed.
θ: fixed mutation rate based on the Watterson moment estimator θw.
ρ: recombination rate.
r/m: relative impact of recombination versus mutation in generating genetic diversity.
ρ/θ: relative frequency of occurrence of recombination in comparison to point mutation.
