ANOVA test results of the five sequences (two MHC isochore sequences and their randomized sequences, and bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sequence), df: degrees of freedom; SS: sum of squares. MS: mean squares. F-value: test statistic value; p-value: p-value from the ANOVA test. sw and w are the number of super-windows and windows.
