Mean nucleotide substitution rates (95% HPD interval in parenthesis) in hMPV G-gene estimated using Bayesian MCMC approach, with both relaxed and strict clock
| Lineage | Relaxed clock |
Strict clock |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Substitution rate (×10−3 substitutions/site/year) | Likelihood score | Substitution rate (×10−3 substitutions/site/year) | Likelihood score | |
| 1a | 4.58 (2.400–7.048) | −2250.481 | 4.152 (2.235–6.196) | −2256.156 |
| 1b | 5.344 (3.995–6.898) | −2946.824 | 4.817 (3.809–5.889) | −2975.021 |
| 2a | 6.139 (4.318–7.825) | −2530.280 | 5.275 (3.733–6.798) | −2556.508 |
| 2b | 7.865 (4.060–11.63) | −1840.066 | 3.795 (2.687–7.625) | −1868.507 |
| 1(a + b) | 5.182 (3.761–6.781) | −4689.161 | 4.621 (3.639–5.647) | −4702.717 |
| 2(a + b) | 6.494 (4.599–8.438) | −3783.320 | 4.770 (3.555–6.012) | −3833.563 |
Estimates with relaxed clock are better fit to the data.
