Kilifi versus global evolution
| Protein | No. of distinct changes for all Kilifi and global viruses | No. of distinct changes in Kilifi viruses | No. (%) of distinct changes unique to Kilifi virusesa |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSVA G | 409 | 68 | 7 (11.8)b |
| RSVB G | 299 | 70 | 30 (42.9) |
| RSVA F | 200 | 45 | 9 (22.2)c |
| RSVB F | 81 | 19 | 13 (79.3) |
| RSVA NS2 | 73 | 18 | 3 (16.7)d |
| RSVB NS2 | 38 | 16 | 13 (81.3) |
a
Number of distinct amino acid changes observed in Kilifi and not in other parts of the world. “Distinct changes” means that the set of changes is reduced to a unique set with multiple occurrences of a change counted only once.
b
The P value for Fisher's exact test was <0.01 for the number of location-specific distinct changes compared to total distinct changes for RSVA versus RSVB.
c
The P value for Fisher's exact test was <0.05 for the number of location-specific distinct changes compared to total distinct changes for RSVA versus RSVB.
d
The P value for Fisher's exact test was <0.05 for the number of location-specific distinct changes compared to total distinct changes for RSVA versus RSVB.
