a Venn diagram showing the extent of overlap among node genes of the GRN, convergent selected genes only in MHGs, anti-directional selected genes, and co-directional selection genes between MHGs and FHGs. b Significant enrichments of convergent selected genes only in MHGs and co-directional selection genes between MHGs and FHGs in the constructed GRN. n indicate 100 independent experiments among three type background genes. Data represent means ± s.d. P values were determined by Chi-squared test. c Frequency of convergent selected genes only in MHGs and co-directional selection genes between MHGs and FHGs among 12 biological pathways. d Significant enrichment of 88 co-directional selection genes in multiple biological pathways.
