Differences in the ratios of synonymous substitutions per site (K s) between human (species a) and New World monkey (species b) using the ribonuclease k6 gene from B. taurus(Genbank accession no. U64997) as an outgroup (species c). Values for synonymous substitution per site between the primate and bovine sequences K ac andK bc ± variance) were calculated according toLi (1993).
