Table 1.
Mean genetic distance (substitutions/site) of feliform SINE subfamilies and subtypes with standard deviation
| SINE type | Genetic distance | SD |
|---|---|---|
| All SINEs |
0.205 |
0.133 |
| Subfamily I |
0.298 |
0.083 |
| Subfamily II |
0.090 |
0.068 |
| Subtype IA |
0.271 |
0.079 |
| Subtype IB |
0.189 |
0.045 |
| Subtype IIA |
0.137 |
0.066 |
| Subtype IIB | 0.068 | 0.052 |
Using an unpaired T-test, differences in the mean genetic distances between each subfamily and subtypes within each family were significant with p <0.0001.
