Table 2

For each duplicated region containing miRNAs, we indicate the number of protein-coding genes, n, used for the Ks estimation. Only duplication events containing four or more conserved protein-coding genes were used to calculate the duplication event date. The events range from 28 to 39 million years ago (Mya), with the average date occurring around 33.5 Myr.
