Amino acid sites under positive selection pressure and likelihood ratio tests comparing positive selection models vs neutral models for different IBV gene segments

Positive selection models: M2a, M3, M8; neutral models: M0, M1a, M7. Positive selection pressure was defined as dN/dS > 1, where dN = number of non-synonymous substitutions per site and dS = number of synonymous substitutions per site. Positive selection site was determined by probability in Bayes empirical Bayes (BEB) analysis. ω, dN/dS ratio; L, log likelihood; M0, one ratio model; M1, nearly neutral model; M2, positive selection model; M3, discrete model; M7, beta model; M8, beta and ω model. na, Not analyzed; nf, not found. *P≤0.05; **P≤0.01.
