Figure 4From: The non-random clustering of non-synonymous substitutions and its relationship to evolutionary rateRelationship between measures of selection and dispersion. In blue, log(ω) is plotted against log(ρ) for aligned pairs of orthologous proteins shared between human and mouse (N = 11,894). The plot in red features the same y-axis but shows the synonymous dispersion ratio (see text) on the x-axis. The linear trend for log(ρ) vs. log(ω) is highly significant (black line; p < 2.2e-16) whereas the plot in red shows no significant linear trend.Back to article page
