The origin and evolution of Ebola and Marburg viruses.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 1997

Suzuki Y, Gojobori T

Abstract excerpt

Molecular evolutionary analyses for Ebola and Marburg viruses were conducted with the aim of elucidating evolutionary features of these viruses. In particular, the rate of nonsynonymous substitutions for the glycoprotein gene of Ebola virus was estimated to be, on the average, 3.6 x 10(-5) per site per year. Marburg virus was also suggested to be evolving at a similar rate. Those rates were a hundred times slower...
