a Single Likelihood Ancestor Counting.

b Fixed-effects likelihood.

c Random-effects likelihood.

d Sites detected as experiencing episodic diversifying selection (0.05 significance) by the Mixed Effects Model Evolution (MEME).

e Number of positively selected sites at 0.05 significance (for SLAC, FEL) or 50 Bayes factor (for REL).

f Number of negatively selected sites at 0.05 significance (for SLAC, FEL) or 50 Bayes factor (for REL).

g Positively-selected sites detected using the Bayes Empirical Bayes approach implemented in the site models (M8 and M2a). Sites detected at 0.99 and 0.95 significance are indicated in the parenthesis.

h Mean dN/dS computed using Mgene and option G.
