aColumn 2 shows the host pair that was compared and analyzed for both the linear similarity at recombination sites and the frequency at given BMV RNA segment (indicated in column 1). Column 3 shows the calculated Pearson correlation coefficient for each respective pair of hosts. A coefficient of 0.5 and higher suggests a high similarity in recombination profiles in the given pair of hosts. Column four presents the corresponding P values that reflect the reliability of the Pearson correlation coefficient. A P value of 0.05 and lower means a 95 per cent chance the stated correlation being correct. The fifth column displays the degrees of freedom, which was used to calculate the correlations; they simply represent the number of fragments being analyzed minus 2.
