𝑁 𝑜 𝑡 𝑒 𝑠 . Values in brackets indicate the ratio of the number of gene conversions divided by the number of gene comparisons. Data for S. paradoxus, S. mikatae, S. kudriavzevii, S. bayanus, and S. castellii are not provided because position data was not available for the genes of these genomes. n.a.: not applicable.
