-In this manuscript, we analyse the divergence of the protein-coding genes of two gerbils in relation to those of other rodents and of *H. sapiens*.

 ## Scripts
 
 This repository is divided into three parts:
 
 1. Scripts used to find groups of orthologous genes between rodents and *H. sapiens* 
-2. Scrips used to align each group of orthologous genes and measure substitution rates from the resulting alignments
+2. Scripts used to align each group of orthologous genes and to measure substitution rates from the resulting alignments
 3. Scripts used to measure protein dissimilarity between species for each group of orthologous genes
 
 ## Work environment
 
-We make use of several conda environments in our analyses. These are listed in the `software` directory. We used the `biobase` environment as default, and the `r` environment for any in-line R code.
