Fig. 2

The secondary and tertiary structures of IRF9 with a focus on Val219 detected by multiple tests as a positively selected site. a The secondary structure of IRF9 and regions around the site Val219 based on the prediction of PSIPRED in human and rat orthologues. b The tertiary structure of IRF9 in human and rat orthologues based on the inference by Alphafold2. The black arrows show the site inferred to be under positive selection. The two stars (**) show the probability of the prediction of PSIPRED (> 99%)
