Table 1 presents the 20 genes that have been linked to HIV pathogenesis in previous studies [20–25] and also have highly divergent orthologs across Chinese and Indian rhesus macaques.

The label “GOname” indicates the gene name assigned by GOanna. The labels “ProteinID.IR” and “ProteinID.CR” indicate the name of the amino acid sequence in the Indian and Chinese rhesus macaque draft sequence files, respectively. The label “e” is the estimate of evolutionary distance produced by the RSD alogirthm via implentation of PAML [17]. Finally, the labels “Chr.IR” and “Chr.CR” indicate the chromosome on which the amino acid sequences occur in the Indian and Chinese rhesus macaque draft sequence files, respectively.
