[i] Permulation P-values represent the proportion of 100,000 permulations that produced a stronger enrichment test statistic than the observed value for each gene set. Multiple hypothesis testing corrections were performed by generating Q-values using Storey's correction method (Storey et al. 2020) (FDR = 0.05). A negative enrichment statistic signifies the following pattern: the greater the decrease in carnivory, the higher the rate of evolution of the gene.
