Note: The values vary between 0 and 1; the closer the value is to 1, the more probable the nucleotide is conserved. The values between -14 and +6, sites predicted to be conserved are assigned positive scores, while sites predicted to be fast evolving are assigned negative scores. Negative and positive scores indicate deleterious and neutral, respectively, with cut-off score set at -2.5. §The value ranges from 0 (deleterious) to 1 (neutral) with cut-off score set at 0.05.
