P values of lineages with significant increased substitution rates are indicated in bold

K1 mean divergence between lineage 1 and the most recent common ancestor of lineages 1 and 2; K2 mean divergence between lineage 2 and the most recent common ancestor of lineages 1 and 2; K1/K2 rate ratio

aSignificance of the P values <0.05
