Thus, the total number N of amino acid comparisons for JTT is assumed to be equal to N :. On the other hand, a phylogenetic tree for cpREV is based on amino acid sites of proteins encoded in chloroplast Ds of species, and the one for mtREV is based on amino acid sites of the complete mitochondrial D from vertebrate species ( individuals from human). Thus, the total number of site comparisons N for them may be approximated to be equal to the number of amino acid sites multiplied by the number of branches in the phylogenetic tree used to evaluate the transition matrices; that is, N :(:{) for cpREV, and N :(:{) for mtREV. The BRKALN database consisting of sites and residues was used to estimate WAG. Thus, N :{: is used for WAG. To evaluate LG, of alignments consisting of sequences, sites, and residues are used. Therefore, N (:{:): is assumed for LG. These crude estimates of N are used to evaluate the AICs of JTT, WAG, LG, cpREV and mtREV.
