TABLE 2.

Detection of gene conversion events between LTRs of HERV-K(II) in primate species

Species	No. of singlesa	No. of doublesb	No. of co-doublesc	P-valued
Human	15	8	5	2.8 × 10−4
Chimpanzee	12	6	4	3.1 × 10−4
Bonobo	18	6	2	0.029
Gorilla	12	10	7	1.7 × 10−6

^aThe number of sites that contain a mismatch in only the 5′ or the 3′ LTR in a total of 56 nonidentical nucleotide positions in the alignment.

^bSites where identical 5′ and 3′ substitutions occur.

^cDoubles at which the 5′ and 3′ substitutions occur in the same species.

^dP-value of the permutation test.
