¹Number of "origin gene" pairs found in any given chromosome, as defined in the text.
²Number of chromosomes for which the specified number of origin gene pairs is found within 1% of the chromosome length from P_O^ML. When multiple origin gene pairs are found near P_O^ML it indicates that the gene pairs are close together on the chromosome.
³Total number of chromosomes with that number of annotated gene pairs regardless of whether or not any pair is close to P_O^ML.
