Estimated rates of chromosomal evolution

Genomes under comparison	Estimated # of rearrangements (largest 95%Cl)	Estimated divergence time (Myr)	Rate of chromosomal evolution (rearrangements/Myr/genome)
A. thaliana vs. A. lyrata	[10, 13]	3.8–5.8^a	–0.9–1.7
A. thaliana vs. Capsella spp.	[10, 12]	–10^b	–0.5–0.6

For calculation see Methods.

Within the Bayesian 95% Cl estimate of the # of rearrangements, parsimony estimates are denoted in bold numbering.
