LRT to Estimate Variable Selection Pressures of Concatenated OR Gene among Primates

Model Foreground Species No. of Parameter 2*Δℓ Estimates of Parameters
One ratio (ωB = ωF) 9 ωB = 0.32
Two ratio (ωB ≠ ωF) Human* 10 33.1 ωB = 0.31; ωF = 0.57
Chimpanzee* 10 16.2 ωB = 0.32; ωF = 0.44
Orangutan* 10 33.2 ωB = 0.30; ωF = 0.41
Macaque 10 7.3 ωB = 0.33; ωF = 0.29
Marmoset 10 55.4 ωB = 0.35; ωF = 0.25

NOTE.—2 × Δℓ was obtained by 2(lnℓ1 − lnℓ0). lnℓ1 was the likelihood value for two-ratio model. lnℓ0 was the likelihood value for one-ratio model. All tests were compared with one-ratio model. Two-ratio model is significantly better than one-ratio model marked by “*” (P < 0.05). All tests were compared with one-ratio model. The two-ratio model is significantly better than one-ratio model in each lineage. ωB means the ω ratio for the background, and ωF means the ω ratio for the foreground.
