[i] Rate heterogeneity between the NUMT clade and the mitochondrial sequences was inferred by comparing a two-ratio model with a one-ratio model (single dN/dS = ω value for the entire tree). Positive selection was inferred from a two-ratio model and a fixed two-ratio model for which the dN/dS of the NUMT subtree was fixed to ω2 = 1. The tree and sequences used in the analysis are shown in Figure 6.
