  1. aAbbreviations for gene duplication categories: WGD (Whole-Genome Duplication), SSD (Small-Scale Duplication) and ySSD (younger SSD occuring after WGD events)
  2. bApplication of Chi-squared tests (or of Fisher’s exact test when the Chi-squared test could not be applied) with a corrected p-value threshold = 1.67E-02 (Bonferroni correction for 3 statistical tests)
  3. cThe odds ratio (> 1 or < 1) indicates the group (tested or non-tested respectively) in which there is an enrichment
  4. dThe paralog reference group includes the genes belonging to WGD, SSD and WGD-SSD categories and the paralogs without annotation
  5. eGenes included into region-specific families. Only genes specific to the major region are considered
