Table 5.
Relative Mutation Rate at Heteroplasmic Positions
Heteroplasmic Positions | All Positions | All Mutable Positions | |
---|---|---|---|
Whole genome | 24.95 | 0.645a | 2.72a |
Control region | 64.08 | 3.74a | 7.01a |
Coding region | 4.2 | 0.469a | 2.05 |
Significantly different from that of heteroplasmic positions at the p < 0.001 level in the Mann-Whitney test.
