Silent and replacement differences within and between species at the ND3 gene
Within | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
H. brasiliensis (N = 82) | H. vulpinus (N = 21) | Total (N = 103) | Between H. brasiliensis and H. vulpinus | |
Replacement | 8 (8–10) | 1 | 9 | 7 (7) |
Silent | 16 (20–22) | 1 | 17 | 49 (100) |
A G log-likelihood test was used to test the null hypothesis that the ratio of replacement to silent differences within and between species is equal. The G log-likelihood score (G = 4.461) was significant to reject the null hypothesis (P < 0.03). Numbers in parentheses are the corrected values for multiple mutations based on a parsimony analysis within species and a Jukes-Cantor (Jukes and Cantor 1969) model between species.
