Nei and Gojobori (1986) developed a simple method to estimate the numbers of synonymous (ds) and nonsynonymous (dN) substitutions per site. In the present paper, we have developed a method for computing variances and covariances of ds's and dN's and of the proportions of synonymous (ps) and nonsynonymous (pN) differences. We also have developed a method for computing the variances of mean dS, dN, pS, pN, without constructing a phylogenetic tree of the genes. We have conducted computer simulations based on simple evolutionary models and have shown that the new method gives good estimates of variances and covariances.
