Genes | Status | D. sechellia, n | D. simulans, n | P value* |
---|---|---|---|---|
Or | Pseudo | 6 | 0 | |
Intact | 57 | 63 | 0.012 | |
Gr | Pseudo | 13 | 2 | |
Intact | 60 | 71 | 0.003 | |
Ors + Grs | Pseudo | 19 | 2 | |
Intact | 117 | 134 | 0.0001 | |
Controls† | Pseudo | 9 | 2 | |
Intact | 181 | 188 | 0.03 | |
Filtered | Pseudo | 17 | 2 | |
Ors+Grs† | Intact | 102 | 117 | 0.0003 |
Pseudo, pseudogene.
*P values are from χ2 tests on each 2 × 2 table.
†Genes with indels ≤ 4 bp in D. sechellia are excluded (see Materials and Methods).
