Two lists of primate-specific protein-coding genes. The entire list includes 846 (805 + 41) genes (framed with magenta outline). Among them, 254 entries (green outline) show varying levels of support for protein expression, of which 213 (blue outline) are annotated as coding genes and 41 (red outline) are pseudogenes that are likely misannotated. Herein, selection refers to all types of selective constraints mentioned above (Table 1; Supplemental Table S9). The gray arrow indicates the decreasing confidence in the coding status. One hundred ninety-two out of 846 PSGs are human-specific, whereas the number of that for 254 PSGs with protein evidence is 18.
