  1. For each analysis (one model fitted to one gene from one taxon) the primary response variable is shown on the left (the number of episodes of positive selection), followed by the size of the sample (the total number of branches in the gene tree or codons in the alignment) and the two secondary response variables (the mean value of the model parameter for episodes of positive selection, and the mean proportion of codons or branch lengths with that model parameter value)
  2. a Mean estimated value of dN/dS at some codons along positively selected branches; values of 10,000 are high but imprecisely estimated (at the boundary condition for the parameter value)
  3. b Mean estimated value of dN along some positively selected branches at positively selected codons
