a clear trendp = 0.00091
The overall average gene gains and losses show a clear trend of fewer genes gained by thermophilic fungi (2.23 times fewer genes gained than mesophilic, p = 0.00091 - [WT]), and more genes lost (1.06 times more genes lost than mesophilic, p = 0.6361 - [WT]); and the opposite trend in mesophilic fungi.
