NOTE. Values are shown for each of the 23 genes under study as measured using codeml in PAML [55]. Genes are ranked from highest to lowest \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) values within each category. CE Caenorhabditis elegans, DM D. melanogaster. The inheritance gene par-1 was included for Caenorhabditis (see Methods). SE standard error for mENC’.
