Table 4.

Correlation between different estimates of nucleotide substitution rates (N: non-synonymous, S: synonymous) of the DRB1*03 lineage when sampled across all available species (N = 18) and when only catarrhines are considered (N = 11).

All species, N = 18 dS, ABS dN, non-ABS dS, non-ABS
dN, ABS 0.561* 0.927*** 0.771***
dS, ABS 0.480* 0.418†
dN, non-ABS 0.749***


Only catarrhine species, N = 11 dS, ABS dN, non-ABS dS, non-ABS

dN, ABS 0.673* 0.947*** 0.800**
dS, ABS 0.689* 0.679*
dN, non-ABS 0.778**

ABS: contact residues, non-ABS: non-contact residues. Effect sizes as estimated from the PGLS model that adjusted for the phylogenetic relationships of species and used statistical weights (log10-sample size) in a combination that offered the best fitted to the data based on maximised log-likelihood. ***: P < 0.001; **: P < 0.01; *: P < 0.05; † < 0.1.
