  1. Maximum likelihood estimates of the rates of evolution (± standard error) in protein coding genes for hominid (P. falciparum – P. rechenowi) and rodent (P. yoelii yoelii – P. berghei – P. chabaudi) lineages. The difference between dN/dS in hominid and rodent lineages is significant. Note that the ratio of the means is not equivalent to the mean of the ratios.
