Table 2 The evolutionary rate differences between human small-scale and whole-genome duplication using mouse (Mus musculus) and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) as outgroups. Two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-Test was used for comparisons between groups

From: Global analysis of human duplicated genes reveals the relative importance of whole-genome duplicates originated in the early vertebrate evolution
