The relationship between GO sub-network edge conservation and proportion of perfectly conserved effectors. The percent edge conservation for each GO sub-network plotted against the percentage of perfectly conserved at the sequence level (as determined by genomic and transcriptomic sequence comparisons) effector candidates associated with that sub-network. Geometric point size reflects the total number of effector candidates associated with each sub-network. The best-fit regression line (blue) and standard error intervals (dark grey) are shown. Those sub-networks with a higher percentage of conserved effectors, particularly those with few effector candidates overall tend to have a higher degree of sub-network conservation
