aPopulations: TcV–TcVI T. cruzi subpopulations H-Bra and H-Chi (Table 3). Distance: number of different alleles (FST) (see the section on ‘Materials and methods’).
Significance tests (1023 permutations):
Va and FST: P(rand. value>obs. value) = 0.00000
P(rand. value = obs. value) = 0.02444
P(rand. value> = obs. value) = 0.02444±0.00495.
