Figure 4From: Comparative analysis of function and interaction of transcription factors in nematodes: Extensive conservation of orthology coupled to rapid sequence evolutionChromosomal distribution of TF genes in C. elegans (A) and C. briggsae (B). The maps have been plotted by taking all TF genes in non-overlapping 200 kb windows. The color codes are as follows. Red: NHR genes, blue: non-NHR TF genes, green: TF genes conserved among the three nematode species. Gene clustering was analyzed by comparing the numbers of TF and non-TF genes located in each window using a χ2 test. Gene clusters that are significantly enriched have been marked with stars (*: P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; ***: P < 0.0001).Back to article page
