Evolution of splicing complexity. A Spearman correlation between human and other species when comparing splicing entropy pairwise for orthologous events in each tissue. For each pair of species, correlation is calculated for splicing entropy of all orthologous exons in the seven species. B the numbers of conserved alternative exons in seven species with highest splicing entropy in each species for each tissue. C line chart showing splicing entropy of events with decrease/increase in splicing entropy during evolution in each tissue. D bar plot displaying the ratio of alternative exons with maximum splicing entropy ≥ 1.0 for each group. E bar plot displaying the ratio of alternative exons with maximum changes in splicing entropy ≥ 1.0 among tissues for each age group of events. VCA: vertebrate conserved alternative exons; MCA: mammalian conserved alternative exons
