Table 1. Number of paralogous gene pairs with a high divergence rate of protein sequence and/or expression in the high and low morphological diversification groups.
Morphological divergence | Protein | Divergent expression | Not divergent expression | p-valuec |
High | Divergent | 16 | 30 (59%)b | 0.21 |
Not divergent | 21 (41%)a | 76 | ||
Low | Divergent | 13 | 32 (67%)b | 0.02 |
Not divergent | 16 (33%)a | 116 | ||
High or Low | Divergent | 29 | 62 (63%)b | 0.01 |
Not divergent | 37 (37%)a | 193 |
a Proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher expression divergence but no protein divergence.
b Proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher protein divergence but no expression divergence.
c Null hypothesis is that the proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher expression divergence is the same proportion of paralogous gene pairs with a higher protein divergence.
