First, we estimated the rates of synonymous substitution for 46 different species of RNA viruses except Puumala virus, human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) and GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (HGV), using the time-serial sample data. This indicated that the transmission mode affected the replication frequency and that differences in the replication frequencies contributed to the variation of the rate of synonymous substitution for RNA viruses. Moreover, in the present study, we proved that the variation in the synonymous substitution rates among RNA viruses was caused by variation of the replication frequency, and that differences in the infection and transmission modes affected the variation of replication frequencies. ./cache/cord-257569-36qx1sy9.txt ./txt/cord-257569-36qx1sy9.txt
