Comparison of the evolutionary rate between genes showing significant differential expression and genes without significant differential expression across the 19 datasets. Relative evolutionary rates on the Y-axis are quantified from pairwise alignments of the protein sequences, and represent the average of inter-species protein sequence identities normalized to the average identity of all inter-species orthologs from OrthoDB [33]. The vertical black lines along the median and mean values of each category represent the standard deviation (thick lines) and the 95% confidence intervals (thin lines). Horizontally, the width of each violin box represents the density of the data values, i.e. the distribution of the data along the y axes, for each category
