F4-150

R:S is the ratio of replacement (R) to silent (S) mutations observed in CDRs or FWRs, as compared with those expected by chance alone.

F4-151

Probability of obtaining the number of R mutations by chance alone.P < .05 is considered significant for either excess of R mutations (CDR) or lack of R mutations (FWR).
