  1. a The observed frequency of the TEP1s and TEP1r classes; b the number of haplotypes sequenced from each allelic class, c the total number of synonymous and non-synonymous segregating sites observed in that allelic class. Significance was assessed using simulations under a neutral model in which the frequency of each allelic class is constant, and proportional to the observed frequency (See main text, and Stahl et al 1999)
