Statistical properties of the branch-site test of positive selection.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2011

Yang Ziheng, dos Reis Mario

Abstract excerpt

The branch-site test is a likelihood ratio test to detect positive selection along prespecified lineages on a phylogeny that affects only a subset of codons in a protein-coding gene, with positive selection indicated by accelerated nonsynonymous substitutions (with ω = d(N)/d(S) > 1). This test m...
