Descriptive statistics from the empirical posterior distribution of the date of the most recent common ancestors (MRCAs) of Gabonese HCV NS5B partial sequences according to HCV-4 subtype.

These distributions were obtained by Bayesian inferences with BEAST software, with a normal posterior distribution of the mean mutation rate at a mean of 5×104 and a standard deviation of 7.14×105. 95% credible confidence intervals are delimited by the 0.025th and 0.975th quantiles.
