Larger letters in the sequence logo correspond to a greater frequency of the specific amino acid residue at a given site. We inferred selection acting on leader, core, and follower portions of MSDINs and across entire sequences using dN/dS ratios (displayed above logos) as calculated in PAML. We were unable to measure selection acting on A. phalloides core sequences (bottom, middle) because informative sites are saturated across this highly diversified region.
