Figure 3. Positive selection on sperm genes involved in different events in the life of spermatozoa.

Figure 3

Percentage of observed and expected genes subjected to positive selection in each class of sperm function. SMG: spermatogenesis, MET: sperm metabolism, MOT: sperm motility, CAP: sperm capacitation, AR: acrosome reaction, SEI: sperm-egg interaction. Expected proportion of positively selected genes was based on the percentage of all genes showing evidence for positive selection.
