Figure 5From: Filoviruses are ancient and integrated into mammalian genomesHistograms of K a /K s values calculated from alignment sites of the filovirus-like elements in eleven species of mammals. Values are calculated using Bayesian methods and a model that accommodates neutral, positive and negative selection (M8 below), and a model that accommodates largely negative or purifying selection (M7 above). Note the better fit of the purifying selection model. Red dashed lines indicate the expected values under neutral evolution for non-functional pseudogenes, while values <<1 are consistent with purifying selection.Back to article page
