In S, only site 614 was estimated to be under diversifying selection in a majority of subsampled alignments (58%); evidence of diversifying selection indicates that genetic diversity increases in the viral population (i.e., there was a higher proportion of mutations causing an amino acid change than not at site 614, or, the nonsynonymous/synonymous substitution rates ratio, dN/dS, was over 1, P < 0.1) (SI Appendix, Fig. S4 ). ./cache/cord-342220-lrqt2gcw.txt ./txt/cord-342220-lrqt2gcw.txt
