TABLE 1.

Rates of protein evolution (dN/dS) in different broad classes of loci.

Per locus dN/dS
Loci with dN/dS > 1

dN/dS calculated for each locus using a one ratio test in PAML.

1See Supplementary Table 4.

2The proportion of genes with dN/dS > 1 differed among classes of loci (X2 = 7.9696, p = 0.0186).
