Table 1 Substitution rates derived from unconcatenated alignments. The table shows values obtained by averaging over individual in-frame alignments of sequence fragments. The alignments were derived from the chimpanzee BESs with and without the removal of low-quality sequence regions, annotated coding sequences retrieved from Genbank and coding sequence alignments derived from ESTs deposited in Genbank. Standard deviations from the mean are given in brackets.
