Evolutionary impacts of postmeiotic silencing. (A) Evolutionary history of escape genes from postmeiotic silencing in the course of mammalian evolution. Genes in lists A–F are displayed in Supplemental Table S8. Stars denote the acquisition timing of de novo genes. (Mya) Million years ago. (B) Distribution of Ka/Ks values of X-linked escape genes and non-escape genes (listed in Supplemental Table S9) along the length of the X chromosome. Ka/Ks values are calculated between humans and mice.
