This figure shows the distribution of the ω values estimated under the M3 (K = 2) model. The analysis was conducted using information of only the six melanogaster group species of Drosophila (42 orthologous groups). (A) Estimated ω values across phylogenetic groups. (B) Estimated ω values across chromosomal clusters.
