Comparative analysis estimates the relative frequencies of co-divergence and cross-species transmission within viral families (original) (raw)

Overall normalized topological distance between two unrooted phylogenetic trees for each virus family by normalizing the Penny and Hendy [14] metric (i.e. nPH85).

A range of DNA (blue) and RNA (yellow) virus families are shown. If nPH85 = 0, it is indicative of virus-host co-divergence, while nPH85 = 1 suggests frequent cross-species transmission (red). For ease of interpretation virus families are ranked by descending frequency of cross-species transmission.
