Fig. 7From: Early evolutionary history and genomic features of gene duplicates in the human genomeBox 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)Back to article page
