Fig 8. CpG dinucleotide depletion in the M segment is linked to evolutionary lineage of host.

Fig 8

(a) In M segment the CpG O/E ratios were significantly lower in insectivore borne viruses than that in rodent borne viruses (0.19±0.03 vs 0.22±0.03; P = 0.0077). The average CpG O/E ratios were lower in insectivore borne hantaviruses as compared to rodent borne hantaviruses for S segment (0.25±0.08 vs 0.29±0.06; P = 0.1344) and L segment (0.26±0.03 vs 0.30±0.05; P = 0.1481); however the difference was not statistically significant. (b) The GpU O/E ratios was not statistically different between insectivore borne and rodent borne hantaviruses in S segment (0.75±0.06 vs 0.72±0.06; P = 0.2289), M segment (0.97±0.02 vs 0.97±0.03;P = 0.9355) and L segment (0.89±0.05 vs 0.87±0.03).
