Abstract excerpt
The modes of evolution of the proteins of Potato virus Y were investigated with a maximum-likelihood method based on estimation of the ratio between non-synonymous and synonymous substitution rates. Evidence for diversifying selection was obtained for the 6K2 protein (one amino acid position) and coat protein (24 amino acid positions). Amino acid sites in the coat proteins of other potyviruses (Bean yellow mosaic...
