Figure 6

The ratio of fixation of amino-acid replacement mutations (Ka) over the rate of synonymous mutations (Ks) between D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura (Y-axis) and recombination rates (X-axis) of autosomal genes following removal of genes associated with overrepresented GO terms. In all graphs bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Compared to solitary genes, the * indicates a significant difference in recombination rate (X-axis) (P-value ≤ 0.05; Mann-Whitney U tests, two-sided; not corrected for multiple comparisons), and the + indicates a significant difference of the evolutionary property studied (Y-axis) (P-value ≤ 0.05; Mann-Whitney U tests, two-sided; not corrected for multiple comparisons). See Additional File 5 for these analyses prior to the exclusion of genes with over-represented GO terms, and the analysis of X linked genes.
