Clade | CDS Length | Indel ratea | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Mean | Variance | Mean | Variance | |
Drosophila | 603 | 4412 | 0.409 | 0.397 |
Tephritids | 1255 | 132 | 0.258 | 0.062 |
P Value | < 0.0001 | < 0.0001 | 0.017 | < 0.0001 |
a Indel rate was calculated for each pair of species within a clade by dividing the number of indel sites by the number of nucleotides in the pairwise alignment, then further dividing by the branch length between the two species estimated using the dsx gene.
