*Boldface (underlined) indicates a significantly higher (lower) d_N/d_S ratio than those ratios in other genes in the same genome.

^†The gene has a significantly lower d_N/d_S ratio in the species indicated than that in the other species.

^‡The gene has a significantly higher d_N/d_S ratio in the species indicated than that in the other species.

^§The SH gene in mumps was excluded because it is absent in measles.
