Evaluation of the goodness of fit for different models of codon evolution and estimated parameter values

Model LnL AIC ∆AIC Parameters
Mimu-DRB
M0 — one ω −1,662.8 3,327.7 306.9 ω = 0.82
M7 — nearly neutral with β −1,517.7 3,055.4 34.8
M8 — positive selection with β (ω 0 ≤ 1, ω 1 > 1) −1,499.4 3,020.8 Best p 0 = 0.75, p 1 = 0.25, ω 1 = 2.92
Mimu-DQB
M0 — one ω −1,773.0 3,548.0 433.1 ω = 0.65
M7 — nearly neutral with β −1,587.0 3,194.1 79.2
M8 — positive selection with β (ω 0 ≤ 1, ω 1 > 1) −1,546.5 3,114.9 Best p 0 = 0.94, p 1 = 0.05, ω 1 = 5.51

ω — dN/dS; nearly neutral with beta — for all sites ω ≤ 1 and the beta distribution approximates ω variation; positive selection — a proportion of sites evolves with ω > 1; p 0 — proportion of sites with ω ≤ 1, p 1 — proportion of positively selected sites (ω > 1), ω 1 — estimated value of ω for sites under positive selection

AIC Akaike information criterion, ΔAIC difference between the value of the AIC of a given model and the best model
