Figure 2

The relation between protein evolutionary rate and 3'UTR length of mRNAs. (a, b) Global inverse relationship between protein evolutionary rate and 3'UTR length for human (a) and mouse (b) mRNAs. (c) Difference between housekeeping (red) and non-housekeeping (green) human genes in evolutionary rate (Left), 3'UTR length (Middle) and the number of regulatory miRNAs (Right). The P-values are calculated using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
