Co-enriched germline-related IPR codes in 7 or more species. For IPR codes shared by 6 species, see Additional file 2: Fig. S5. The table represents presence (light blue) or absence (light grey) in different species (columns) of germline-related enriched IPR codes (rows). On the right of each row is reported the description of the respective IPR codes: bold names represent codes associated to direct DNA-related or proliferative activities; names in red refer to codes associated to DNA repair mechanisms. Many of the codes in the present table refer to genes that were also detected among the co-upregulated OGs (see Fig. 2A). However, despite being partially overlapping, the analysis was independent and revealed additional signals to the whole-length sequence homology one (see for instance all codes enriched in 9 species). Asterisks refer to IPR codes that are enriched in 8 or more species considering all iterations of the species-specific DE analyses with different cut-offs
