Table 3. Structural gene substitution rate variation among viruses with different cell tropisms.
N | En | L | H | Ep | |
N | - | 0.97 | 1.00 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
En | 0.03 | - | 0.98 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
L | <0.0001 | 0.02 | - | 0.99 | 1.00 |
H | <0.0001 | 0.001 | 0.006 | - | 0.98 |
Ep | <0.0001 | 0.0008 | <0.0001 | 0.03 | - |
The significance of viruses with each target cell in the left column having higher log-scale mean substitution rates than the viruses with each target cell in the top row is designated with a p-value from a one-tailed t-test. The threshold for statistical significance (α = 0.01) was Bonferroni-corrected to account for multiple comparisons (P<0.001); the significant values are bolded. N = neurons, En = endothelial cells, L = leukocytes, H = hepatocytes, Ep = epithelial cells.
