Mutations most frequently observed in the background of D135G/Q138R.
Mutation most frequently observed in the background of G134D.
Group assignment of high frequency mutations is based on previous phylogenetic and cluster analyses of Rev populations observed in vivo (Baccam et al., 2003). Variants in Group A have overall higher Rev activity than variants in Group B.
The first day post-inoculation each high frequency Rev mutation was observed at greater than 50 % frequency in the sampled population.
