Note.—M1a is a nearly neutral model that assumes one ω class between 0 and 1 and one class with ω = 1; M2a (positive selection model) is the same as M1a plus an extra class of ω > 1; M7 (null model) assumes that 0 < ω < 1 is beta distributed among sites in ten classes; M8 (selection model) has an extra class with ω ≥ 1; 2ΔLn L, twice the difference of the natural logs of the maximum likelihood of the models being compared; P Value, P value of rejecting the neutral models (M1a or M7) in favor of the positive selection model (M2a or M8); % of sites (average dN/dS), estimated percentage of sites evolving under positive selection by M8 and M2a (dN/dS for these codons).
