Total counts of the preferred (up), unpreferred (pu), and total silent (Sil tot) changes across genes on the near-telomeric (6391 codons) and nontelomeric loci (4906 codons) for each lineage and on the near-telomeric regions of increasing MCU (TRIMCU) in yak, teiyak, ore, and ereore are shown. TRIMCU are defined as yak (cin-futsch, 5006 codons), teiyak (y-CG11403, 4101 codons), ore (y-EG:171D11.2, 2431 codons), and ereore (y-ase, 1351 codons). dup,pu, (up − pu)/(up + pu), indicates degrees of deviation from equal numbers of up and pu changes. The G-values of goodness-of-fit tests for the expected equal numbers of up and pu changes at equilibrium are shown. Gene dir represents the number of genes that show positive/negative dup,pu. Probabilities of Wilcoxon signed-rank test (WSR) are given except for TRIMCU. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, ***P < 0.0005. Abbreviations for lineages: mel, D. melanogaster; sim, D. simulans; tei, D. teissieri; yak, D. yakuba; teiyak, D. teissieri–D. yakuba; ere, D. erecta; ore, D. orena; and ereore, D. erecta–D. orena.
