Probability: probability, according to a binomial distribution, that in a set of n independent sequences with a mutation, a given number of strains shared the same non-synonymous mutation. For strains detected in the period 2000–2005 only mutations with probabilities lower than 1.0 × 10−9 are shown.

b

NS/S: non synonymous/synonymous mutations.
