Distribution of alignment scores of human and mouse promoters for several categories with significant tendencies. For the high conservation tendency, actin cytoskeleton (A) and extracellular matrix (B), for the low conservation tendency, lysosome (C) and ribosome (D). For each of A-D, the solid line shows the distribution of the alignment scores for genes with the specific GO term, and the dashed line shows the distribution for the control gene set (see Materials and Methods for details).
