Table 2 presents the 20 orthologs with the highest levels of divergence according to the RSD algorithm.

Of these 20 genes, 7 have been linked to HIV-1 pathogenesis in some way by previous research. 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.
