Substitution ratios per protein-coding genes of the T. solium mitochondrial genomes. The pairwise ratios (Ka/Ks) of non-synonymous (Ka) over synonymous substitution rates (Ks) are shown per protein-coding gene for each of the African-American mitochondrial genomes presented in this work. Pairwise Ka/Ks ratios were computed between African-American and Chinese reference sequences. Note that ND1 and ND3 pairwise Ka/Ks ratios are equal to 0 due to the absence of non-synonymous mutations
