# `natsel_neutral` – a test for selective neutrality

We employ codon models to test hypotheses regarding the mode of natural selection that has operated on a gene.

Noting that ω (omega) is the ratio of nonsynonymous substitutions to synonymous substitutions, ω=1 is indicative a gene is evolving neutrally.

Warning

I’m setting `optimise_motif_probs=False` to speed up execution of the examples, not because it’s a good idea!
