The most common divergence between the indices was a higher manual PET index than BSI, exemplified by the patient in Fig. 4.
They further show that simple molecular observations on patterns, multiplicities and occurrence give much information, suggesting common divergence rules not much disturbed by horizontal gene transfers after the initial origins.
Some previous analyses have calculated the protein divergence between two species, using their common divergence to control for the mutation rate [ 26].
However, the ordered-axis plot approach revealed a regression slope of 0.98 on the new PC1, and an intercept of 0.02 (slope of 1 indicates equal levels of variance between groups, intercept of 0 indicates a common trajectory of divergence), indicating that the major axes of variation, and levels of variation between these data sets were extremely similar.
We can use the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, a common measure of difference between two distributions.
In fact their main conclusion of a common axis of divergence is supported by our own data (analysis not shown).
According to this analysis, the MCP of the Tlr element forms an outgroup to the Polinton MCPs, suggesting that although Tlr and Polintons probably share a common origin, their divergence is an ancient event, in contrast to the previous suggestion that Tlr is a non-autonomous derivative of the Polintons [ 6].
One main cause of low statistical power is a small number of nucleotide substitutions available to estimate divergence, a common situation when recently diverged species are being compared.
These observations indicated that all OPR genes from land plants shared a common ancestor before the divergence between lower and higher land plants; subsequently, lineage-specific expansion and divergence events occurred in higher land plants, especially in monocots, after divergence from lower land plants.
These deletions may therefore have occurred in a common ancestor after the divergence of the Beijing and ST42 lineages.
