From: Relationship between gene duplicability and diversifiability in the topology of biochemical networks
Comparison of protein-to-protein network distances (A) and gene duplicability (B) of genetically antagonizing (GA) WGD duplicate gene pairs and those of the rest of WGD pairs. A: average network distance of the 9 GA WGD duplicate gene pairs (red square) compared with histogram/distribution of the averages for groups of random WGD pairs (the curve). 100 groups, each consisting of 9 randomly selected WGD pairs as described in the text, were used to generate the histogram. Horizontal axis is the average length of shortest network paths (network distance). Vertical axis is the percentage of the groups with the corresponding average network distance. The vertical position of the average for the 9 GA pairs was based on its p-value (0.017). B: log(P(K)) vs. log(K) plots of genes in GA WGD duplicate gene pairs and of genes in all WGD pairs. Gene duplicability K was calculated as BLAST hit counts. To better illustrate the difference, the GA data points were shifted upward to overlap the leftmost data points of the two plots.
