Figure 1From: Experimental evidence indicating that mastreviruses probably did not co-diverge with their hostsDescription of datasets. (a) Phylogenetic comparison of sequences from experimental evolution experiments (left) and sequences sampled from nature (right), all drawn to the same scale. Whereas the SSRV-A (32 years), MSV-F (6 years) and MSV-B (6 years) datasets are described here for the first time, the MSV-B (5 years), MSV-A, and WDV datasets are those described by van der Walt et al. [9], Varsani et al. [26] and Ramsel et al. [28], respectively. Black dots indicate likely rooting positions as determined by an outgroup. Best fit models used during maximum likelihood tree construction are GTR+I+Γ4 for the SSRV, WDV and MSV-A trees, F81+Γ4 for the MSV-B five-year and MSV-F six-year trees and TN93+Γ4 for the MSV-B six-year tree. (b) Evolution experiment datasets indicating the sources and timing of sequence sampling.Back to article page
