Fig. 1From: Homoeolog expression bias in allopolyploid oleaginous marine diatom Fistulifera solarisComparison of GC content between pairs of homoeologous genes in each homoeologous chromosome. Vertical axis represents GC content ratio (dGC) value of each homoeologous gene, and horizontal axis indicates the relative number of homoeologous genes on each chromosome. The dGC value indicates the ratio of GC content in one homoeologous gene with respect to its corresponding pair. As such, if the dGC value is over 1 (above the horizontal axis), its GC content is higher than the other pair. The dGC value of homoeologous genes along the homoeologous chromosome with higher global GC content (Chromosome X) and lower global GC content (Chromosome X’) were indicated as red and green line, respectivelyBack to article page
