  1. n, number of sequences; 2ΔlnL, twice the log-likelihood difference of the models compared; df, degrees of freedom; P-value, level of significance (P-values < 0.05 are shown in bold).
  2. a Sites pinpointed to be under positive selection under the selection model with the highest likelihood (M8 for the set of NAT2 orthologous sequences) by Bayes Empirical Bayes (BEB) analysis. Only sites with posterior probability greater than 0.95 (*) or 0.99 (**) are shown. Sites are numbered according to the full human coding sequence.
