Elevated Evolutionary Rates among Functionally Diverged Reproductive Genes across Deep Vertebrate Lineages

<table>Word-size frequency distribution of Gene Ontology (GO) terms for the most diverged orthologs in <i>A. carolinensis</i>. Associated GO terms for the top 10% diverged ortholog subset are displayed according to size, based on the frequency of that term. GO terms from Biological Process (BP) and Cellular Component (CC) were used.  Similar GO-based word-size frequencies based on 10% most diverged orthologs from <i>M. musculus, G. gallus, and D. rerio</i> are found in Supplementary Figure  2.</table>
