FIG. 5.—
Distribution of the value of (1 − P) in ORFs 3, 4, 5, and 6 of PRRSV-A. The genes (ORFs 3, 4, 5, and 6) encode the envelope proteins (ORFs 3, 4, and 5) and the membrane protein (ORF6) of PRRSV-A. The figure indicates the distribution of the value (1 − P) for natural selection. When dn is larger than ds, the value is indicated above the abscissa, whereas in the opposite situation, below the abscissa. Light blue bars indicate positively selected sites (P < 0.05). The abscissa indicates the amino acid positions. The black rectangles indicate the experimentally recognized B-cell epitopes. The green rectangles indicate transmembrane regions.
