TABLE 2.
Nuclear DNA distances among strains of mtDNA haplotypes 1, 3, and 5 of C. albicans
| mtDNA haplotype | Mean ± SD distance (n)b | Mean ± SD distancea in 1,000 randomized data sets | Range of mean distances in randomized data sets | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.48 ± 2.56 (325) | 9.68 ± 0.79 | 9.07–10.35 | <0.001 |
| 3 | 7.61 ± 6.26 (36) | 9.71 ± 0.79 | 7.11–11.97 | 0.005 |
| 5 | 7.43 ± 4.8 (21) | 9.67 ± 1.02 | 6.33–12.95 | 0.015 |
a
The number of distances from each randomized data set was the same as the number of pairwise distances among strains sharing the same mtDNA haplotype in the original data set.
b
n, number of pairwise comparisons of nuclear DNA genotypes. Distances are calculated as the number of allelic differences between genotypes (5).
