Nadeau et al., (Royal Soc. B. 2007) Reconstructed dN/dS ratios for genes involved in sexually dimorphic plumage in pigeons and their relatives.

i. Let’s imagine that Nadeau et al., tested 5 genes, and got the followingdN/dS ratios:

gene1: 0.01
gene2: 0.05
gene 3: 0.90
gene 4: 1.01
gene 5: 2.34

Which gene has a dN/dS ratio that provides the strongest evidence of negative (‘purifying’) selection?
