NOTE. Results are shown for each of the 34 genes under study a measured using codeml in PAML [55]. Genes are classified based on their role in PGC specification and ranked by \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) within each group. The mean dN and mean dS values are provided in Table S4. SE=standard error for mENC’.
