Table 3.

McDonald-Kreitman test comparing levels of human polymorphism and divergence between human and chimpanzee at conserved versus non-conserved sites across distantly related mammals.

Non-conserveda Conserved
Rare polymorphic sites
Fixed 19 5
Polymorphicb 11 4
Common polymorphic sites
Fixed 19 5
Polymorphic 1 4

a If the allele in chimpanzee (ancestral) was identical to that found in the same position in rodent, artiodactyl and carnivore, the site was considered conserved across three lineages.

b The singleton indel was not included in this analysis.
