We used likelihood ratio tests to determine whether any codon positions were associated with dN/dS significantly > 1 and hence possibly subject to positive Darwinian selection. Neutral models (M0, M1, and M7) were compared to selection models (M2 and M8), which allow a proportion of codons for which dN/dS exceeds 1, or models for heterogeneity of dN/dS among sites (M3). As indicated by the P values, all analyses find very strong evidence for the selection model. Note that in M3, two classes of sites are permitted to have dN/dS > 1. Also indicated are the proportion of codons that were found to have dN/dS > 1, with the associated dN/dS values shown. Analyses using the f61 model of codon frequencies are shown, but similar results were obtained by using the f3×4 frequency model (full paml results are available in Appendix 1).
