  1. a Two COG functional categories including one gene (i.e. "RNA processing and modification" and "Extracellular structures") are not showed.
  2. b The average rate (dS) of synonymous substitutions (nucleotide mutations that do not alter the amino acid sequence) for all orthologous genes within a give COG role category is displayed, followed by the standard error that is represented in parentheses.
  3. c The average rate (dN) of nonsynonymous substitutions (nucleotide mutations that alter the amino acid sequence) for all orthologous genes within a give COG role category is displayed, followed by the standard error that is represented in parentheses.
  4. d Correlation coefficient between the values of dS and dN.
