marginal significancep = 0.072
Unlike the AU tests, the likelihood ratio test does not reject the H 0 hypothesis that the one-tree hypothesis (both genes have the same topology) is favored over the two-tree model (each gene has a different topology), although marginal significance is observed ( p = 0.072; out of the 500 replications performed 36 were found to have a smaller log-likelihood ratio statistic than the original data set, Additional file 2 ).
