a

Number of taxa.

b

Length of alignment in codons.

c

Tree length.

d

Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous nucleotide changes.

e

For model comparisons (see text), significance is indicated with one (P < 0.05) or two asterisks (P < 0.0001).

f

For positively selected residues, those in bold have posterior probabilities >0.90, underlined 0.70–0.89, and regular font 0.50–0.69.

g

Non-CENP genes listed here are included to evaluate potential regional selection. C2orf18 and DPYSL5 flank CENP-A; SPEF1 and CDC25B flank CENP-B; and STAP1 is the only other complete gene within the analyzed CENP-C–containing region (see supplementary fig. 1, Supplementary Material online).
