Suprafamilial relationships among Rodentia and the phylogenetic effect of removing fast-evolving nucleotides in mitochondrial, exon and intron fragments

Table 3 Slope of saturation for each gene partition before and after (in italics) removal of fast-evolving positions

Protein coding genes (cytochrome b, vWF and IRBP) have been partitioned according to codon positions, the 12S rRNA is partitioned in stems and loops and there is one partition for each intron and one partition for combined exons. In each case, the number of positions is given in parentheses.
