Fig. 4

Convergent gene losses in species pairs from similar and distinct environments. A Venn diagram showing the one-to-one orthologous genes (large box) and overlapping pseudogenes in NMRs-BMRs pair. The numbers in parentheses represent the percentages of each category in the total number of pseudogenes in NMRs and BMRs (286 in total). P-value from a hypergeometric test indicates that gene losses in NMRs and BMRs are not independent from each other. B Proportional difference of overlapping pseudogenes among 4 species pairs including NMRs-BMRs, guinea pigs-rats, NMRs-rats, and BMRs-guinea pigs. The numbers of overlapping and total pseudogene from each pair are labelled above the bars. P-values are from two-tailed Fisher’s exact test
