Coding sequence (CDS) length and indel rate within the Drosophila and tephritid clades for transformer

Clade	CDS Length		Indel ratea
	Mean	Variance	Mean	Variance
Drosophila	603	4412	0.409	0.397
Tephritids	1255	132	0.258	0.062
P Value	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.017	< 0.0001

^a Indel rate was calculated for each pair of species within a clade by dividing the number of indel sites by the number of nucleotides in the pairwise alignment, then further dividing by the branch length between the two species estimated using the dsx gene.
