Table 1

A sample listing from TAED indicating candidate adaptively evolving genes detected that emanated from the bovidae node. These examples potentially include orthologues between different species of bovidae, paralogues, alternatively spliced cDNAs with potentially different functional effects, and intraspecific modifications.
