In addition, some important genes such as part of the agr locus (particularly the conserved gene agrB) presented some divergence between the 2 populations.
While this divergence presents some challenges, the lack of conservation could be exploited in species-specific targeted therapeutics.
They are fast-evolving sequences that may present a divergence degree reflecting the phylogenetic divergence between species [ 63].
Old SDs in HSAY are also longer, but, in contrast, they present higher divergence between paralogous copies.
Estimates of mean of nucleotide distances for different region of the E gene could establish the divergence occurred in flavivirus and can present possible divergence in future strains.
While inversions are segregating, regions within rearrangements have lower recombination rates and, thus, they should present lower divergence (either inter-specific or intra-specific).
However, genes under directional selection present increased divergence between populations relative to neutral or nearly neutral markers if selective pressures differ between populations, or they may present decreased divergence relative to neutral or nearly neutral markers if selection pressures are similar [ 63].
Because a disproportionate amount of the enhanced divergence of the protein genes was at synonymous sites, we chose to present their divergence graphically in the form of phylogenetic trees constructed from synonymous sites only (Fig. 1).
While the 2 Retroviridae classes I and II appear to be related according to BLAST analyses (data not shown), they present greater divergence based on several phenotypic features preserved depending on the class.
Although these results are largely incongruent with the FST pairwise comparisons, this is an expected outcome when stocks present small evolutionary divergence.
We present the divergence-conforming immersed boundary (DCIB) method to tackle this issue.
