“Germline % homology” provides the percentage of nucleotide sequence homology between the Ig V gene and its putative germline. P is the probability that an excess of R mutations in the CDRs resulted by chance.50 

R/S indicates the ratio of replacement mutations (R) and silent mutations (S) in the complementary determining regions (CDRs [CDR1 and CDR2]) and framework (FR1, FR2, and FR3) regions; in, sequences inserted in inverted orientation. See Table 1 for other abbreviations.
