Table 2.
Mean dN/dS (ω) values and index of tissue specificity of expression (τ) for genes with maximal expression in each of the investigated six tissues, together with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
| Tissue | Nmax (Nunique) | ω | 95% CI (ω) | τ | 95% CI (τ) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embryo | 2,033 (454) | 0.132 | 0.120 - 0.144 | 0.438 | 0.430 - 0.446 |
| Liver | 1,347 (552) | 0.157 | 0.150 - 0.164 | 0.518 | 0.506 - 0.530 |
| Muscle | 738 (348) | 0.278 | 0.015 - 0.541 | 0.458 | 0.440 - 0.475 |
| Skin | 964 (427) | 0.155 | 0.145 - 0.165 | 0.561 | 0.547 - 0.574 |
| Spleen | 1,000 (368) | 0.161 | 0.140 - 0.182 | 0.492 | 0.479 - 0.505 |
| Testes | 2,996 (849) | 0.165 | 0.148 - 0.182 | 0.542 | 0.534 - 0.549 |
Nmax represents the number of genes with maximal expression in each of the tissues and the number within brackets (Nunique) is the number of genes which are expressed uniquely in that tissue.
