Table 4.
Shows the Number of Genes, Either Binned or Unbinned Which Support One of Five Outcomes
| Binned (50%) | Unbinned (50%) | Binned (75%) | Unbinned (75%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reject all three hypotheses | 2994 | 2418 | 1673 | 763 |
| Indecisive | 1788 | 5256 | 5293 | 9079 |
| Xenarthra | 1751 | 876 | 1113 | 281 |
| Afrotheria | 1969 | 926 | 1199 | 303 |
| Atlantogenata | 2667 | 1693 | 1891 | 743 |
| Sum of three hypotheses | 6387 | 3495 | 4203 | 1327 |
| % Supporting Atlantogenata | 0.417566933 | 0.484406295 | 0.449916726 | 0.55990957 |
| Length in coalescent units | 0.135075898 | 0.256971108 | 0.192220497 | 0.415309943 |
Note.—A gene tree can either reject all three hypotheses (i.e., when Xenarthra, Afrotheria, Boreoeutheria, or the branch uniting the three outgroups are rejected), or be indecisive (i.e., be compatible with all three hypotheses; this happens when in the collapsed gene tree, the relationship between Xenarthra, Afrotheria, Boreoeutheria is unresolved), or can support one the three hypotheses. The number of genes that support Atlantogenata is divided by the total number of gene trees that support one of the three hypotheses giving a percentage which can then be used to calculate branch lengths in coalescent units following Degnan and Rosenberg (2009), see Materials and Methods.
