Uncorrected nucleotide bias in mtDNA can mimic the effects of positive Darwinian selection.

The results show that there is indeed a highly significant negative correlation (correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.87; P = 1 × 10 −04 ) between the degree of nucleotide bias and the d N/ d S ratio (see fig. 2 a ).
