Null models (M1a, M7, and M8a) are compared with their respective alternative models (M2a, M8) that allow ω > 1. Proportion of positively selected sites and their corresponding ω-values in M2a and M8 models are in bold. The posterior probability of each positively selected amino acid site is in parenthesis. Posterior probabilities are estimated based on Bayes Empirical bayes analyses (Yang et al., 2005).
