The “Mi” indicates that the expected counts are calculated based on i-th order Markov model for the background sequences. Monte Carlo p-values were estimated by comparing observed parsimony score to the scores in 1000 randomly-joined trees: parsimony score = 2--7, p < 0.001; score = 8, p = 0.002. Boldfaced are the two lowest parsimony scores.
