a

Number of species (including rat) and total number of coding region haplotypes. Variation in the total number of species across loci reflects PCR amplification failure or the exclusion of species with truncated coding sequence (Magea9). For each gene, we conducted two tests, shown on separate rows. The upper row for each gene includes all unique haplotypes from population samples of Mus domesticus and M. musculus in addition to the single haplotype from each of the other species. The lower row for each gene includes one haplotype for each species. See supplementary table 2, Supplementary Material online, for a list of species included for each gene.

b

Length of protein-coding alignment, excluding positions with indel variation.

c

dN:dS estimated across the entire phylogeny.

d

dN:dS estimated separately for all Mus species, and the branch leading to rat.

e

Likelihood ratio test statistic comparing the difference in the likelihood (L) of M8 and M8a.

f

M8 estimate of dN:dS for the positively selected site class and proportion of codons in this class.
