(1) Log- likelihood values.

(2) ρ0, ρ1, and ρ2 are the proportions of codons subject to purifying selection, neutral evolution, and positive selection, respectively. ω0, ω1 and ω2 represented dN/dS for each class (purifying, neutral and positive selection, respectively).

(3) ** significant at p < 0.01

*** significant at p < 0.001.

(4) Underlined: amino acids involved in androstenol and androstenone binding.

Site numbers and amino acids refer to the pig SAL1 reference sequence PDB: 1GM6, except for the amino acid in bold, which is not part of the structure but comes from the dog genome sequence XP_855342.1.
