Positive selection of synonymous mutations in vesicular stomatitis virus.

Abstract:

:Prevailing evolutionary forces are typically deduced from the pattern of differences in synonymous and non-synonymous mutations, under the assumption of neutrality in the absence of amino acid change. We determined the complete sequence of ten vesicular stomatitis virus populations evolving under positive selection. A significant number of the mutations occurred independently in two or more strains, a process known as parallel evolution, and a substantial fraction of the parallel mutations were silent. Parallel evolution was also identified in non-coding regions. These results indicate that silent mutations can significantly contribute to adaptation in RNA viruses, and relative frequencies of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions may not be useful to resolve their evolutionary history.
