Figure 1

Dissection of AS events in orthologous genes. A schematic view is provided of the dissection of AS events in Arabidopsis-rice orthologs (A) and maize-rice orthologos (B). The dissection is given for both the translated- and NMD set. Number of orthologous genes within each category is indicated below the name of the category. Numbers next to arrows represent the number of pairs within the category from which the arrow originates that contribute to the number of pairs within the category pointed to by the arrow. For a number of classes the fraction of ortholog pairs from its preceding class that is contained within the child class is provided (in red). Note: several ortholog pairs can be represented in more than one child class as a number of genes have more than one AS variant.
