Table 2: Tajima’s relative rate test for χ2 test statistic, P-value less than 0.05 is often used to reject the null hypothesis of equal rates between lineages. The analysis involved 3 amino acid sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA5.
