We also underscore the fact that, although a substitution along the human branch is a very strong indicator of the absence of selective pressure at that site, such events are also extremely rare (~0.5% of sites).
A fixed indel difference can be classified into one of four categories; 1) an insertion on the human branch, 2) a deletion on the human branch, 3) an insertion on the chimpanzee branch, and 4) a deletion on the chimpanzee branch.
A subset of human non-protein-coding genomic sites that could be unambiguously labeled as having undergone a substitution along the human branch since the human chimp ancestry were identified.
The basic approach is to look for genomic regions where the human branch contains a surprisingly large number of substitutions-that is regions which have an accelerated substitution rate in the human lineage.
First, we consider the question of whether the presence of orthologous bases in a given species (extant or ancestral) affects the likelihood of a conservation event along the human branch.
In the human branch, we estimated a total of 18936 non-synonymous and 34241 synonymous substitutions.
When considering a phylogeny of five mammals, the improved branch-site test 2 of positive selection [ 14] rejected the hypothesis of positive selection at a subset of sites in the human branch (p = 0.7039).
We did not observe a significant enrichment of ovarian differentially expressed genes among genes with a history of positive selection on the human branch.
This finding suggests that the loss of selective constraint on the human branch may have been a common occurrence, as suggested by Olson (1999).
For example, if we use Longest, the human branch appears to have a higher fraction of positively selected genes than the mouse branch, but the opposite is observed if we use PALO or Cons (table 5).
