Functionality of M. leprae genes with a functional homolog in M. tuberculosis using Ka/Ks ratio analysis. This graph contains frequency histograms of ratios of nonsynomous (Ka) vs. synonymous (Ks) nucleic acid substitutions of M. leprae genes when compared to their homologous genes in M. tuberculosis. Panel A represents the frequency histogram for Ka/Ks ratios of M. leprae functional ORFs. Panel B represents the frequency histogram for Ka/Ks ratios of M. leprae pseudogenes that have a functional homolog in M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
