Fig. 2: Traces of intra-host recombination as shifts in AF.

a Theoretical AF shifts of defining mutations occurring at a recombinant breakpoint in samples containing the mixture of two parental and a recombinant strain with different ratios. b Examples of putative intra-host recombinant samples. (For the whole list, see Supplementary Methods 2). The black vertical line shows the location of the putative breakpoint, dashed lines and shaded, semi-transparent regions mark the means and standard deviations of relevant AFs before and after the breakpoint. OR: odds-ratio of models fitted to the data with and without a recombination breakpoint; RR: ratio of recombinant genomes in the sample.
