Sequences of TEP1s and TEP1r were pooled across all populations and both species (An. gambiae and An. Arabiensis). Tests were conducted separately for regions that show high or low divergence between alleles, as well as separately for the TED region. The test is accomplished by comparing divergence and polymorphism at synonymous sites (Ps and Ds, respectively) to divergence and polymorphism at nonsynonymous sites (Dn and Pn, respectively)
