When natural selection is acting to favor changes at the amino acid level, it is predicted that dn will exceed ds, hence a high dnds ratio. When the foreground branch was set as tetraodontiformes, the median dnds value was 0. The general pattern that emerges is that species with a high amino acid substitution rates in mitochondrial genes also exhibit a high amino acid substitution rate and an elevated dnds ratio i.

You may also need to reference other papers cited in the readme file. A ratio greater than one implies positive or darwinian selection, less than one implies.
Since we were comparing the conservation of different genes, we needed to account for the variation in codon numbers. The relationship we have established between dn ds and scaled selection coefficients offers a unique opportunity to assess the robustness of dn ds based inference methods. Analyzing synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution rates. Mega also uses hyphy program 2 to calculate the dnds substitutions rate.

For further analysis of the dnds ratio, positive selection dnds 1 of the allelic genes were examined using the codeml program in the paml software. Im unsure how to interpret these ratios, and how the difference in the two suggests any differences in the type of selection for the enveloped protein in each.

Nucleotide substitutions in genes coding for proteins can be either synonymous do not change amino acid, alternatively called silent substitutions, or nonsynonymous changes amino acid. Thus long branches in a dn ds analysis can lead to underestimates of both dn and ds, and the longer the branch, the harder it is to correct for the introduced noise. Moreover, the dnds ratio is very sensitive to the selection coefficient.
