Correlations in \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) and in mENC’ between Drosophila and Caenorhabditis and Drosophila and Apis. a The \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) values for Caenorhabditis versus those from Drosophila; b the \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) values for Apis versus those from Drosophila; c mENC’ for Caenorhabditis versus Drosophila; d mENC’ for Apis versus Drosophila. Spearman’s ranked R and P values are shown across all genes for the between genus orthologs (pooled across categories). The lineage-specific inheritance (LSI) genes in Drosophila and in Caenorhabditis genes are shown on the X and Y axis respectively in A and C and were not included in the calculation of between genus correlations. The gene names associated with each value of \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) and mENC’ shown are provided in Tables 2, 3, and 4.
