  1. For each gene, either teleosts or mammals were used as the foreground branch on which the alternate (alt) hypothesis of positive selection was compared to the null model (ω = 1, fixed). The proportion of sites subject to purifying (p0), nearly neutral (p1) and positive selection (p2) and the estimate of ω (ω2) in the free model are all given as is the Likelihood (L) of the model. The codon positions (using D. rerio as the reference sequence) of the sites estimated to be subject to positive selection are indicated where significant. The null and alternative models are significantly different when 2 Δ L > 3.841. *For rln3, the models were not statistically different.
