Fig. 7

Box plot displaying the distribution of minimum duplication span for 184 human young gene duplicates. The range and median length of human protein-coding genes and their coding regions are displayed for comparison. The median duplication span of human paralogs is significantly greater than the median gene length in the human genome (W = 2,102,894, p = 0.0015) as well as the median length of the coding region for protein-coding genes (W = 2,367,542, p = 7.6 × 10−11)
