Fig. 4

a Across SARS-CoV-2 genes, the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions (dN/dS) was estimated using the 192-context model (Methods). The vertical bar indicates bootstrap variability, reflecting the size of each gene. The dN/dS ratio estimated from the entire coding region is shown as the first tick on the x-axis. Circles and triangles indicate the dN/dS ratio calculated based on the Goldman and Yang and the Muse and Gaut models, respectively.
