NOTE.—BDS is a log odds ratio quantifying the association between W→S substitution and the density of substitution. P values are computed using FET. Branch lengths are given in expected substitutions per site. All statistics are based on a cluster size of 1,000 bp and a density threshold that results in approximately 5% of substitutions being placed in the divergent class.
