a

Amino acid composition at the site.

b

Reconstructed most recent common ancestor (MRCA) at the site.

c

Amino acid substitutions inferred when AbcD indicates b substitutions from A to D and c substitutions from D to A.

d

Empirical Bayes factor for evidence in favor of a directional selection model at the site for the target residue.
