  1. The R and Rm were estimated excluding the sites containing alignment gaps or those segregating for three nucleotides. The R was computed using R = 4Nr, where N is the population size and r is the recombination rate per sequence (per gene) n, number of isolates; Ra, recombination parameter between adjacent sites; Rb, recombination parameter for entire gene; Rm, minimum number of recombination events between adjacent sites
