  1. Ka, the number of non-synonymous substitutions per non-synonymous sites. Ks, the number of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site. Ka and Ks values are calculated based on human-mouse orthologous pairs as described in the main text. The first column in each group is the mean followed by standard error of the mean (SEM).
