Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) evolves faster in cell culture than HSV-1 by generating greater genetic diversity
Fig 5
Stacked histograms show the number of de novo genic MVs (x-axis) located in each HSV-1 (left) and HSV-2 (right) coding sequence (gene; y-axis), after five (P5) and ten (P10) passages in Vero and HaCaT cells. Only coding sequences registering at least one variant are included in the histogram. MVs found in both copies of each RL1, RL2, and RS1 coding sequences are listed together. SNPs and InDels were combined for this analysis. See Sheets G-N in S1 Table for full lists of MVs position and frequency data.
