  1. The number of amino acids in each typology appears in brackets (ABS/non-ABS). dN is the number of nonsynonymous substitutions and dS the number of synonymous substitutions per site category (ABS or Non-ABS). P is the probability (using a Mann-Whitney U-test) that dN and dS are different at each site type or that dS differ between ABS and Non-ABS
