Differential preferences following selection of influenza NS1 in the presence or absence of interferon. Wu et al. [13] generated libraries of influenza viruses carrying nucleotide mutations in the NS segment. They passaged these viruses in the presence or absence of interferon pre-treatment. Here, dms_tools was used to analyze and visualize the data to identify sites where different nucleotides are preferred in the presence versus the absence of interferon. Because the mutations were made at the nucleotide level, the data must also be analyzed at that level (unlike in Figures 2, 3, and 5, where codon mutagenesis means that the data can be analyzed at the amino-acid level). The plot can be generated as logoplot.pdf with the following commands:.
