Table 4.

Number of codon sites estimated to be under positive or purifying selection in the SLAC, FEL, REL, and PARRIS analyses (P ≤ 0.05 in all cases) using the Dialign-T (D) and MUSCLE (M) alignments. In cases where different replicates of the same analysis returned different number of sites under selection, the lowest (most conservative) number is shown. C1 indicates the number of sites agreed upon to be under positive selection by FEL for the two different alignments; C2 indicates the equivalent number for REL; C3, indicates the number of sites under positive selection that are agreed upon by both REL and FEL for both alignments (note that SLAC did not predict any sites under positive selection)

No rates with dN > dS were inferred, suggesting that all sites are under purifying selection
