The bold values highlight residues that can more likely be explored as possible transmission signatures that have a p-value < 0.05 and a q-value threshold < 0.3 to correct for multiple hypothesis testing, for which we used the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to compute false discovery rate-adjusted p-values (q-values).
