Abstract excerpt
We studied the molecular evolution of H gene in four prevalent Asian genotypes (D3, D5, D9, and H1) of measles virus (MeV). We estimated the evolutionary time scale of the gene by the bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. In addition, we predicted the changes in structure of H protein...
